Lakewood Chamber of CommerceThe history of Lakewood goes back over 150 years, when the prairies with their abundance of game brought hunters, trappers, and settlers. |
The City of Lakewood encompasses 20 square miles of the most naturally endowed residential land in the Puget Sound area.
Lying five to ten miles southeast of the central business area and industrial employment center of Tacoma, bounded by Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force Base and adjacent to a major interstate freeway, this area has rapidly developed into one of the largest incorporated residential communities in the nation. In relation to the rest of central Puget Sound region, Lakewood is considered a southern boundary, since the large Federal land holdings at Ft. Lewis prevent a further extension of solid urban development in that direction. Steilacoom sets the west boundary, and the Chambers Creek canyon generally defines the north boundary of the district.
Washington Travel Information Sources is available throughout the state.
