To see the reasons so many tourists visit our home, all you have to do is look around. To the north lie the beckoning waters of Puget Sound, where beaches are begging to be explored and leaping salmon, barking seals, and long-legged blue heron are waiting to come into focus. To the south stand the towering slopes of Mount Rainier, home to year-round snow, deep blue glaciers, and elusive black bears.
In between waits a lifetime of activities -- world-class restaurants, eye-popping museums, renowned zoos, theaters, lakes, rivers, trails, shopping, galleries -- the list could fill all the pages of your vacation planner many times over.
Best of all, Pierce County is full of friendly people and resources to make your fun time easy. The hard part is deciding what to do first.
