How do I target Tacoma in the proxy username?
You pick Tacoma by adding city-tacoma (and state-wa) to the username you already use. No other endpoint, no extra fee.
USERNAME-country-us-state-wa-city-tacoma: rotating Tacoma IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.USERNAME-country-us-state-wa-city-tacoma-zip-98409: narrows to ZIP 98409, one of 13 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.USERNAME-country-us-state-wa-city-tacoma-asn-7922: asks for an IP on Xfinity's network (AS7922) when one is online in Tacoma.USERNAME-country-us-state-wa-city-tacoma-session-taco01-ttl-15: keeps one Tacoma IP for up to 15 minutes; it can change earlier if the home device goes offline.
City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. Test with one request before you script a run, and widen to the state if a filter is too narrow. Details: city-level targeting.
Which internet providers serve homes in Tacoma?
Per the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 data, read 2026-10-18), Xfinity (Comcast) reports wired service to 99% of Tacoma's 106,263 homes and apartments. The other main wired providers are CenturyLink (63%). Fiber is available to 41% of homes and cable to 99%; copper DSL lines still reach 24%. T-Mobile Home Internet (81%) and AT&T Internet Air (72%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).
What this means for a Tacoma proxy: a residential exit IP belongs to whichever home network the device uses, so Xfinity addresses are the most common kind in the city, but not the only one. Look up the ASN of the exit IP you get, and use asn- targeting when a test must run on one provider.
What local details matter when you test from Tacoma?
With 228,202 residents in 2024, Tacoma ranks 104 among the 181 US cities over 150,000 on this site; the population grew 4.1% since 2020. The city is part of the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA metropolitan area, shared with Seattle and Bellevue; the metro had 4,145,494 residents in 2024.
Local formats matter when you check forms, prices or ads: Tacoma phone numbers use area code 253, clocks run on Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles), and 13 ZIP areas fall mostly inside the city. Sales tax in Washington: 6.5% at state level, 9.57% on average with local rates (July 2026), added at checkout on most sites. Washington has no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force; note the My Health My Data Act, which covers consumer health data.

What else do people ask about Tacoma proxies?
Does a Tacoma IP set the local time on my tool?
No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Tacoma uses Pacific Time (UTC−8, UTC−7 in summer); set America/Los_Angeles and an en-US locale in your browser or test runner if the page you check reads them.
Which Tacoma ZIP codes can I request?
Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 13 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Tacoma, among them 98409, 98421, 98404 and 98407 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors.
Is a Tacoma proxy server the same as a residential proxy?
Not always. "Tacoma proxy server" means any proxy with a Tacoma IP; public free lists mostly show shared data-center or open servers that change often. A residential proxy sends your request through a home connection in Tacoma, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write country-us-state-wa-city-tacoma in the username; plans start at $1.50.
Does Washington law change how I can use a Tacoma proxy?
MetroProxies does not give legal advice. A proxy changes where requests come from, not which rules apply to you. Washington has no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force, but note the My Health My Data Act, which covers consumer health data, and each site's terms still apply. Collect only public data and follow the acceptable use policy.
Can I get a Tacoma IP from one internet provider?
Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-wa-city-tacoma-asn-7922 asks for Xfinity (AS7922). Per the FCC map, Xfinity serves 99% of Tacoma homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.
How do I hold one Tacoma IP during a session?
Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-wa-city-tacoma-session-taco01-ttl-15 keeps one Tacoma exit for up to 15 minutes. Sessions last up to 30 minutes; the IP can change earlier if the residential device goes offline. Use a new session ID to get a new Tacoma IP.
