Expanding rail service in Tacoma has enticed a developer to turn a former mattress factory into a complex of retail and more than 300 condos near the Tacoma Dome.
The former Spring Air mattress factory is across the street from stations for the Sounder commuter rail line to Seattle and light rail to downtown Tacoma, and a block from the Amtrak station. The condos supposedly will be more affordable than recent projects, likely aimed at commuters.
