The 'A-1+' rating on Tacoma, Wash.'s revenue anticipation notes series 2002A and 2002B is based on a direct pay LOC provided by Bank of America N.A. ('A-1+' short-term rating). The LOC expires on June 30, 2005 and purchases all notes upon maturity. Notes have terms no longer than 270 days and are not subject to redemption prior to maturity. Proceeds of the issue will be used to fund the construction of a new convention center and the construction, acquisition, and renovation of parking facilities in downtown Tacoma.
