For his story today, reporter Ian Demsky has been sifting through a state database of thousands of personalized license plates to find some of the best in Pierce County. Here's Ian's list of some of the better ones.

It's hard to top a Puyallup driver's plates on a '73 Chevrolet that simply state PIMPALA.

Although I'd say this one in Florida might win.

I was trying to imagine some Tacoma-centric plates, such as TACTOWN or EXIT133 or BAARSMA (all three are still available). GOTGRIT was already taken.

As good as those are, I'm thinking the most Tacomatastic license plate would be if the state allowed Dale Chihuly an extra letter so he could forever drive around in style as GLASSMAN.
