Point Ruston’s transformation from polluted smelter site to
waterfront destination
On a hot, sunny Sunday in August the Tacoma Farmers Market at Ruston drew hundreds of people who browsed through and bought produce, flowers, homemade baked goods, snacks, sauces, honey, clothing, quilts, and more. Families played on the sprayground in Ruston’s Grand Plaza while others took advantage of the cool breezes coming off Commencement Bay to go for a stroll along the waterfront or a surrey ride over to Dune Peninsula Park.
