Northwest Pierce County

People love Pierce County. It has a little bit of everything: arts, culture, agriculture, natural wonders, and an emerging business center. Tacoma, Pullallup, and Gig Harbor are all growing in population as people from across the nation flock to the Pacific Northwest for the outdoor beauty, the relaxed way of life, and the jobs. The deep-water Port of Tacoma is the sixth busiest container port in North America and sustains 28,000+ jobs alone. Agriculture is big here, too. Thanks to the moderate climate and nutrient-rich soil, Pierce County farmers produce 50% of the United State’s rhubarb. But don’t forget Mt. Rainier! Standing taller than all the other mountains of the Cascade Range, this volcano is the backdrop to every Pierce County postcard and backyard view.
