Pierce County

As evidenced by its quickly growing population, Pierce County is a desirable area in the Puget Sound region to put down roots, expand your career, explore education opportunities, recreate outdoors, and build community. It’s largest city is Tacoma, just 30 minutes south of Seattle. Tacoma is the South Sound’s center for business activity. It draws many residents and visitors who use the extensive light rail system to attend courses at the University of Washington campus or catch their favorite entertainment act at the Tacoma Dome. Many artists call Tacoma home, as its art and historical scene thrives from the Chihuly Museum of Glass and LeMay Car Museum to the restored urban waterfront.
