Many Tacomans will remember Juan Perez, who played the piano at the Tacoma Nordstrom store for 27 years. UW Tacoma student Nathan Hiatt recorded this episode in remembrance of Perez, who left a long-lasting impact on the Tacoma community.
Hiatt created this beautiful tribute as the final project for T ARTS 225: Musical History of Tacoma, taught by Kim Davenport at the University of Washington, Tacoma. At the time he took the class in Autumn 2023, he was a senior majoring in Arts, Media and Culture.

We all have food in common. Most of us get together around the table with friends and family to celebrate birthdays, gather for holidays and sometimes to mourn and support each other through difficult times. Tacoma’s Family Table uses food and the stories and traditions connected to that food to forge connections, build understanding and relationships, and tell the rich, varied and unique history of our city through its citizens and share that history with the public.
With thanks to Tacoma Creates for support of our public programming.
