The Shelter Half was a GI Coffeehouse in Tacoma, Washington that operated at 1902 Tacoma Ave. from 1968 to 1974.[1] Named after a military tent called a Shelter-half, the coffeehouse's purpose was to provide a place for GIs at Fort Lewis military base in Washington State to resist the war in Vietnam. The Shelter Half served as an anti-war headquarters, publishing underground anti-war newspapers, organizing boycotts, connecting civilian activists with local GIs, and leading peace marches.[2][3][4]

In November 1969, the Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Board prevented military personnel from attending the coffeehouse by placing it on a list of off-limits places.[5][6]

The Shelter Half closed in the summer of 1974.[7]
