Lakewood is the second largest city in Pierce County and the fifteenth largest in Washington. It is strategically located between Sea-Tac International Airport and Olympia.

Surrounded by beautiful lakes and views of Mt. Rainier, we are home to sixty thousand residents and nearly eleven hundred businesses. Lakewood was named as one of the nation’s One Hundred Best Communities for Young People by America’s Promise Alliance for the third year in a row in 2008.

Lakewood is just minutes away from Puget Sound, or a short drive to Seattle or the Sea-Tac International Airport. Our neighbors include the major military installations of McChord Air Force Base and Fort Lewis. We are 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. With great educational opportunities, a strong business district, and numerous recreational opportunities, Lakewood is the place to be!
