Tacoma is a more blue collar industrial port city, on the periphery of the Seattle metro. It's gotten a good deal of investment in recent years, due to being an affordable option in the general Seattle Area.
Oxnard, while part of greater LA, is about 60 miles from LA. Roughly the same distance as San Bernardino in the Inland Empire. It really was just a city whos coast was dominated by a now defunct naval station. Ventura is to the north and both cities are adjacent to agricultural areas. Quite a few who commute into Thousand Oaks or Simi Valley for jobs.
While the areas near the beach are nice, you can tell it's not a marquis destination compared to Malibu, Santa Barbara, Orange and San Diego coastal areas, etc.

+1 - you clearly know what you're talking about when it comes to both cities.
Tacoma has better urban bones considering that back in 1940 Tacoma had a population of 109,408 while Oxnard only had 8,519
