Puyallup is a beautiful city that is far enough away from the big city, but still close enough to enjoy the luxurie that big cities offer. It is also close enough to enjoy the beautiful wilderness that the Pacific Northwest offers. It is a bustling city that continues to grow and, unfortunately, become more expensive It is also a military friendly community with having Joint Base Lewis McChord right by.

Puyallup allows for a chance to live in an area where you have a choice of environment. Whether you prefer a more rural setting, or an apartment near downtown, there’s options for all. The city is also much quieter than other parts of the Greater Seattle area; even the nearby city of Tacoma.

Puyallup is a growing city, with one end full of newer housing developments and busy streets, the other with businesses. There are three main streets, running parallel to each other, that make up the majority of the city. For the most part, Puyallup is quiet; particularly the newer area of the city, which is mostly made up of small neighborhoods.

Puyallup, about an hour south of Seattle, is most famous for being the home of the Washington State Fair. Twice a year, people from all over the state (and sometimes farther) flock to the fairgrounds for a day of fun and excitement. The city itself becomes clogged with visitors during these times; many residents have learned to profit from the space shortage by renting out their yards and driveways as parking spaces.
