Kim Davenport—Tacoma Booster Songs

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Tacoma marketed itself in a variety of ways, including song. Several songs, such as “You’ll Like Tacoma,” and “Watch Tacoma Grow,” were aimed to be catchy jingles for the City of Destiny.

Kim, who runs the Tacoma Music History project, talks about these projects and an upcoming exhibit at the Tacoma Historical Society featuring Tacoma’s music history.
