The Tacoma Narrows (or '''The Narrows'''), a Strait , is part of Puget Sound in the U.S. State of Washington . A Glacial Landform , the Narrows separates the Kitsap Peninsula from the city of Tacoma . The Narrows is spanned by the Tacoma Narrows Bridge ( Washington State Route 16 ). Some of the largest Octopus es in the world, the North Pacific Giant Octopus , live near the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
