The market is also very popular for its International Food Court, where one can savor Mexican, Filipino, Mediterranean, Vietnamese, Thai, Southern barbecue and vegetarian entrees for lunch or dinner. For a treat, forget the calories and enjoy the most unforgettable cinnamon rolls in Tacoma, which are baked fresh daily there. Maps, photos, memorabilia and paintings of one of the nation's major transcontinental railroads decorate the walls, providing a fascinating history lesson.
