Lakewood

Lakewood is the fifteenth largest city in Washington and the second largest in Pierce County with approximately 60,000 residents and eleven hundred businesses. Lakewood is surrounded by the beautiful lakes and scenery of northwest Washington including bountiful views of Mt. Rainier. It is home to sixty thousand residents and nearly eleven hundred businesses. Lakewood is just minutes away from Puget Sound and a short drive to Seattle and the Sea-Tac International Airport. It's neighbors include the major military installations of McChord Air Force Base and Fort Lewis as well as the Washington National Guard's State headquarters at Camp Murray. Lakewood is home to many popular tourist attractions, including the Grand Prix Raceway, Lakewold Gardens, Thornewood Castle, Fort Steilacoom Park, American Lake Park and Lakewood Game Refuge. And with great educational opportunities, a strong business district, and numerous recreational opportunities, Lakewood is the place to be!

Originally settled in 1849 by the United States Army, Lakewood matured over the twentieth century into a bustling urban area south of Tacoma and incorporated in 1996.
