TacTownGoods started with a stack of old Tacoma postcards: the Hotel Winthrop, Stadium High School, Wright Park, streetcars on Pacific Avenue, and Mount Rainier (back when many called it Mount Tacoma) looming over all of it.
Every design here is one of those real cards from our own collection. We scan each card at high resolution, then clean it up: we remove the dust, creases and stains, and straighten and crop the card, while keeping the original colors, printing and captions. Nothing is AI-generated and nothing is stock art. The photos above show a few cards before and after.
The restored cards are then printed to order on posters, framed prints, canvas, puzzles, mugs, tea towels, coasters, ornaments and notecards. Every product shows the whole card, caption and all, so you get the complete postcard.
If there's a Tacoma building, street or neighborhood you'd love to see, send us a message. We're always adding new cards.
