Tacoma and the South Sound.

Craftsman bungalows and Tudors with original double-hungs, many painted shut and still on their first glass.

Foursquares and Victorians in the historic district, where restoring the sash is often the first thing to price.

Hillside houses facing the water, where wind-driven rain finds every gap in an old sill.

Post-war ramblers and cottages with failing aluminum sliders and first-generation double-pane units.

Cedar houses with big glass toward the water, and patio doors that take the weather full on.

One of the oldest towns in the state, with small-paned windows worth keeping and doors that need a careful hand.
