Pierce County, Washington

Pierce County lies just south of Seattle, a diverse area with a mix of urban and rural landscapes. It’s home to Tacoma, Washington’s third-largest city.
Mount Rainier looms large here, literally. The massive volcano dominates the skyline and draws hikers and nature lovers from all over. Pierce County isn’t just about the mountain though.
There’s plenty of history too. Check out the restored 1800s buildings at Fort Nisqually. Like cars? The LeMay Car Museum will blow your mind. The county has great parks. Don’t miss the glass art scene either because it’s world-class. Pierce County has a little bit of everything.
