Today marks 25 years since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The City of Tacoma joins communities across our nation in remembering the nearly 3,000 lives lost, honoring the courage and sacrifice of first responders, and recognizing all those whose lives were forever changed by the... events of that day.

Twenty-five years later, we remember. We honor. We will never forget.

TTEP supports Tacoma residents by connecting them with job training, career navigation, and employment opportunities in high-growth fields.
