Tacoma is among the top 5 booming U.S. cities where people want to live, according to a study from bankrate.com.

The city was ranked #3 for its quality schools, outdoor recreation, affordability, job security, sense of community, diversity and growth.

The study caught the attention of the Today Show, which highlighted Tacoma in a July segment. You can watch it here.

Kudos to the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce, Travel Tacoma-Mt. Rainier and the Port of Tacoma for their quick response for info when Today Show staffers reached out. They had only a few hours to respond.

Cool news travels fast. The story was also picked up by Evening Magazine and South Sound Business.
