The East Pierce County area, like the Pacific Northwest in general, has a fairly casual style. You’re likely to see people in jeans and Gore-tex™ whether you go to the grocery store or the symphony. Our laid-back style comes from our love of the outdoors and the need to stay dry in our rainy (it’s not as bad as everyone says) climate.
Our location on the Pacific Rim and our two major military bases (Ft. Lewis Army Base and McChord Air Force Base) bring us a diverse population from all over the world. That mix of cultures is reflected in our area’s arts and food.
Along with the espresso stands you’ll find on nearly every corner are parks, museums and quaint shopping districts that invite you to relax or explore as you sip. Major retail shopping is also readily available.
