Founded in 1806, Tanner Washington has been home to both witches and mortals for centuries. The small town offers a beautiful landscape of mountains, lakes, rivers, and more - and often boasts about being a safe community for residents. Walking down main street, the overall vibe of tanner is old and eclectic. Most of the buildings are worn, and show the signs of Tanners long forgotten history.

Built in 1811, the Coven House was originally used as a hospital before it was converted into the safe house that it is today. The Coven House is used for meetings, research purposes, and other such things. In the garden, you can find many useful plants and herbs to aid you down the magical path. The Coven House has many spare bedrooms that are used in times of need. The Library holds both the town and the Covens history.
Huskers bar and grill can be found located on the top right corner of main street. Originally opened by Husker Neeland in 1906, the bar and grill used to be a speakeasy back in the 1920's. Now owned by his great-great-great-great grandson (Husker Neeland the 5th), Huskers Bar & Grill has more of a dive-bar feel than a restaurant vibe. Neon signs decorate the walls, the leather on the bar-stools needs re-upholstering, and the bathrooms are questionable at best. Usually known to be a good place to get a burger and a beer, Huskers does have higher class dishes on their menu - the question is, does it taste high class?
Jackson's Diner is a favorite place for both the young and old. Opened in 1949, the diner has never updated their aesthetic - and it's done wonders for business. The original jukebox can still be found in the dining room, and the waitresses wear classic diner attire. Known for their fries and milkshakes, Jackson's is also very popular during tourist season.
The Pinewood Social is probably the busiest place in town anytime of the day or year. Starting out as just a bowling alley in the 70's, Pinewood is now the favorite spot for young adults in Tanner, as they have added an arcade and laser tag course over the years. A great place to eat and play all at the same time, Pinewood Social is opened late throughout the week, giving the younger people in town something to do. Friday Nights are Neon Nights.
The Aurora Theater can be found in the middle of the left side of main street, and is open all year round. Built in 1932, the theater has done their best to keep up with the times and update their decor. While giving an old vibe on the outside, The Aurora offers a comfortable and welcoming environment for you to enjoy all of this years blockbusters.
The Stars & Stripes Drive In Theater is open every summer from May-September. A popular hang-out, the tickets and concessions remained cheap over the years. The drive-in plays both new and old movies, offering something for everyone.
Red Oaks Plaza can be found in downtown Tanner, right off of the highway. A large shopping center, this is where most people in Tanner go to do any and all of their shopping for Christmas, birthdays, etc. You can find all of your favorite chain stores hear, and their food court also has some amazing Chinese.
Tanner Central park can be found in the center of town. The park has been around for just as long as Tanner, and has grown overtime with the town. You can find all of your basic park things here - the sandbox, the swing set, the jungle gym, and the like. There's also miles and miles of walking trails - both paved and not - that can be found in the park. Tanner Central Park is also home to the baseball field, basketball, tennis, and volleyball courts.
The Rocky River Ranch Hangout has been around since the 1950's - beginning as a private party spot for John Montgomery and his friends. Over the years, kids from the local highschool have come down here during the summer for a safe place to celebrate. Located on the property of the Rocky River Ranch, you first need to pass through the gates of the ranch. Once inside, drive for about four miles. Upon coming to the fork in the road, take a left. You can safetly drive for another mile before the terrain becomes too difficult for vehicles, as the trail is overgrown with nature. From there, it is a mile hike to the river and lake. The only rule for the Rocky River Ranch Hang-out is respect the land. Pick up after yourselves, respect the animals, and don't kill the plants. It's really that simple. Mess with the nature, and you'll have to talk to Mr. Montgomery himself.
