Tacoma Community College traces its roots to 1962, when residents of the Tacoma-Pierce County area elected to fund and build a local community college. The Tacoma School District No. 10 Board of Directors applied for authorization to build the College in 1961 and received approval in 1963 from the Washington State Board of Education. The College opened in the fall of 1965 and was dedicated February 16, 1968.
Tacoma Community College is a comprehensive state-supported school serving more than 650,000 residents of the Tacoma-Pierce County areas of western Washington. The Tacoma Community College district includes all of Tacoma and the Pierce County portion of the Olympic Peninsula.
