Pierce

Built around Tacoma’s deep-water port and the Puyallup River valley, Pierce County grew into a populous, varied part of Washington State. Puget Sound shapes its western edge, while Mount Rainier rises above the county’s eastern horizon and Mount Rainier National Park extends into its uplands. Tacoma developed after being selected as the western terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad in the 19th century, and its working waterfront remains central to the area’s identity. The county also includes Joint Base Lewis–McChord, a major military community. Lowland farms, suburban districts and forested foothills give Pierce County a broad range of settings.
