Tacoma, WA – A memorial service honoring fallen Washington State Patrol Trooper Tara-Marysa Guting will be held Saturday afternoon in Tacoma, with family, friends, and colleagues gathering to remember her life and service.
According to the Washington State Patrol, the service for Trooper Guting, Badge #720, is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Saturday, December 27, at Life Center Central Campus, located at 1717 S. Union Ave. in Tacoma. The agency said it is working closely with Guting’s family to ensure the ceremony reflects her life, values, and dedication to public service.
Officials said the memorial is intended to be an intimate, family-focused event. Unlike some law enforcement memorials, Saturday’s service will not include a formal law enforcement procession. Instead, the focus will be on being surrounded by loved ones, close friends, and colleagues who served alongside her.
Due to space limitations at the venue, the Washington State Patrol confirmed the memorial will be livestreamed for members of the public who wish to pay their respects remotely. Links to the livestream, along with additional logistical information, are expected to be shared ahead of the service as planning details are finalized.
The announcement comes amid an outpouring of support from across Washington state and beyond. WSP said Trooper Guting’s family has expressed deep gratitude for the condolences, messages, and community support they have received during this difficult time.
Trooper Guting served with the Washington State Patrol and is being remembered for her commitment to public safety and her impact on those she worked with and served.
Community members planning to attend or watch the service are encouraged to monitor official Washington State Patrol communications for updates and livestream access information.
