Geography is one of our strong suits. Pierce County is the only county in the country where you can go from sea level at Puget Sound to 14,411 feet at Mt. Rainier. While nature has worked hard to create an unsurpassed location, we've done the same to develop a strong, diverse economy, a highly educated workforce and a supportive business environment. Pierce County is home to numerous national companies and thousands of thriving small businesses. From healthcare to agriculture, financial services to manufacturing, and construction to importing, Pierce County has what it takes to compete in the regional, national and global markets. Thanks to our numerous sustainable economic development programs, our dedication to technology and higher education, and county leadership that balances business interests with a high quality of life, there is no better place to do business.
