Jonesing for a shopping-angled day trip? You might consider rolling the dice on Tacoma, especially since we’ve sweetened the odds with this shopping map detailing the finds in the Proctor neighborhood.

Sweet spots (literally), back-to-school (or work, or play, or whatever) consignment finds, homey and worldly housewares, and toys, gifts, and accessories ought to fill your day quite nicely.

The neighborhood’s weekly farmers market is on Saturdays through November, if that helps you decide when to go, and we’ve heard nothing but good stuff about a little joint called Babblin’ Babs, if you like planning your purchases around a square meal.

Have fun, and let us know how it goes.
