Tacoma

Tucked into the wetlands of Alachua County in north-central Florida, Tacoma is a place whose character is shaped by the broad, seasonally changing basin of nearby Paynes Prairie. This small locality lies south of Gainesville, where flat terrain, pine woods and wet ground mark a transition from the city to protected open country. Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park safeguards a large expanse of marsh and prairie and is known for wildlife including alligators, bison and free-roaming horses. Gainesville, home to the University of Florida, is the area’s principal cultural center, while Tacoma retains a distinctly rural setting.
