Tara Davis Nationality: Where Is She From?

Tara Davis was born and raised in Elk Plain, located in Pierce County, Washington. The county is home to Mount Rainier AKA Tahoma or Tacoma, which is touted as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. Tara had a tough childhood and because of the legal family issues, she had no option but to spend half of her time in foster care.

But Tara didn’t let her past define her future and made a successful career for herself. Even after her marriage, she is living in Pierce County with her husband and four kids.

Tara comes from a rough background as both her mother and father were drug addicts. His father was in prison for practically her entire life, causing Tara and her sister to grow up ahead of their time. However, in early June 2020, her father was released from prison after serving a sentence of 27 years. Here’s a picture of the father sharing an unforgettable moment with Tara and her sister!

Her husband is a structural ironworker and sharing the same profession has enabled the couple to develop a better understanding of each other’s professional commitments. On their fifth anniversary, the couple had an “official” wedding in their backyard, in the presence of Tara’s sister and her family.

She wants the men in her industry to quit saying, “You’re one of the guys now,” whenever a female ironworker excels at her job. Tara has worked on the Bellevue Tunnel project. It falls under the Sound Transit East Link extension plan and will enable the citizens to travel from Seattle to Bellevue and Redmond through the tunnel.
