South Sound gift guide encourages local holiday shopping

To help struggling local businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber created SouthSoundGiftGuide.com for people to conveniently shop hundreds of Pierce County retailers and makers.

The site has a wide range of unique Pierce County goods such as art, DIY board game kits and ice cream club memberships. The guide is organized by popular 2020 gift categories and has retail recommendations from Spaceworks Tacoma, Downtown Tacoma Partnership, Tacoma Urban League, South Sound Manufacturing Industrial Council, Puyallup Sumner Chamber of Commerce, Fife Milton Edgewood Chamber of Commerce and Lakewood Chamber of Commerce.

Other holiday sites from partner organizations are ShopDowntownTacoma.com, PuyallupShops.com and MingleJingleMarketplace.com
