Tacoma, Washington Tacoma's founding father, Henry Geiger, built a stately Victorian Eastlake home in the city in 1889, the year Washington became a state. Almost a hundred years later, as Skip and Jane Easley looked for a new house in Tacoma, they came across the Geiger home, now abandoned and in bad shape. The house had been repaired enough so that the Easley family could move in, but they knew the restoration would be extensive. To save money, they decided to do as many of the repairs as possible themselves.
