A small city of its own, wrapped on three sides by Tacoma, with older houses up the hill and new building down by the water.
The Where row settles the city line. Ruston is a separate city, with Tacoma on three sides and Puget Sound on the fourth, and it grew up around the smelter that once stood on its shore. Being its own city changes nothing about a repair: the visit is $89, credited to the work, and the bands are the ones every other place in the atlas uses. Addresses here carry the 98407 ZIP, which is why it is one of the few rows in this atlas that prints one.
Two kinds of kitchen
Ruston is small, yet the Houses row splits it in two. Up the hill are older houses on settled streets, with kitchens redone around a freestanding range. Down at the water is Point Ruston, where the buildings are new and the kitchens were fitted as they went up. The Fuel row splits the same way, and so does the Have ready row: saying which half of the city you are in tells the technician which kind of kitchen to expect before setting off.
Uphill, the range carries most of the work. A Viking gas range needs mains power to spark its burners, and Viking’s manual for its freestanding gas ranges sends the owner to the fuse or breaker when the igniters make no sound at all. A range that went silent after a storm deserves that look before any other.
Nearer the water, a cooktop and a separate wall oven are the more usual pair, and they fail independently of each other. Either way, the model number decides the part, and the figure comes before the work. Viking Repair Tacoma covers both halves of the city on (206) 472-1140.

A few of the notes people left about Viking visits from Viking Repair Tacoma.
5.0 / 5 866 reviews
Water was pooling under the crisper drawers every couple of days. A blocked drain tube, cleared and flushed, plus a torn door gasket he changed while it was open. Both explained before he started.
Cormac N. Northeast Tacoma
Loud grinding partway through the wash, every single time. The chopper blade had broken and the pieces were rattling round the sump. He cleaned the sump out and fitted a new assembly. Quiet again.
Blythe M. Proctor District
It would start, run for about a minute, then stop with every light flashing. He pulled the fault code, found a dirty turbidity sensor and a stuck float switch, and cleaned both out.
Nadine Y. Stadium District
