One of the best sounds you can hear on a Sunday night in downtown Tacoma is the soothing voice of Pete Kirkland.

A versatile, formidable performer, Pete Kirkland says his grandeur is due to his genuine nature. The leader of the six piece R&B band, In the Pocket is currently enjoying the best of many worlds; counseling empowerment, spiritual connections, artistic endeavors and life after cancer.

For about a year, Pete stepped in where Darren Motamedy left off and created a band he named In the Pocket Band. With four original members and two ‘borrowed’ members, together they have attracted a steady loyal group of supporters at the Tacoma Comedy Club where they perform every Sunday Night.

Pete’s career started at the age of 13 when he frequently played the drums and even earned $50 for his efforts. During the Vietnam era he sang for funerals of some of his friends returning home from the war. It was around this time that he discovered the power of music and his strength as a leader.

Name one mainstream, mutli-screen movie theater located in Tacoma. 

Can't do it, can you? The Galaxy Narrows is a tempting answer, but the theater lies just past inside those pesky University Place limits. The Regal Lakewood 15 also seems as though it should count, but is even less ambiguous - what with "Lakewood" in the name and all.

After that, Tacoma is the proud home to two independent theaters - the second-run Blue Mouse Theatre in Proctor, and the nonprofit, multiscreen Grand Cinema downtown.

In fact, Tacoma hasn't had a multiplex since the Galaxy Tacoma 6 moved out of its location on S. 23rd St. But that's all set to change over the course of the next few years, as  construction continues on the waterfront Point Ruston development.

Cinemark Holdings and Point Ruston, LLC announced today that the "mixed-use lifestyle center" dubbed "the Waterwalk at Point Ruston" will feature a Century Theatres 9-screen cinema.

The Waterwalk is still in early stages of development and construction, but the developers have high hopes and lofty goals.
