It's hard to imagine a better place to live than Pierce County. We're surrounded by saltwater shores and towering mountain peaks. Our county includes bustling cities with rich culture and active nightlife and sleepy timber towns where the main streets are lined with cottage industries and quaint cafes.
Despite our nationally recognized high quality of life, Pierce County residents still enjoy affordable housing combined with a strong job market. We pride ourselves on our renowned educational institutions, from our thriving elementary schools to our numerous colleges and universities.
But the best thing about Pierce County is the people who live here. We're a diverse family, for sure. Drive our highways or relax on our shores, and you'll see small-town farmers and big-city businesswomen, active retired couples and families with children, urban professionals and talented tradespeople. We all share a northwest pioneer spirit. And we all work together to make this a place where opportunity feels right at home.
