Make the Most of Your Lakewood Stay

Gateway to the Pacific Northwest

Lakewood occupies a strategic position between Seattle and Tacoma, where American Lake's shoreline meets the shadow of Mount Rainier. This city of 63,000 carries an unexpected history—once a playground for Seattle's elite who built summer estates around its 10 lakes. The 1911 Thornewood Castle, a Tudor Gothic manor constructed from 400-year-old English bricks shipped around Cape Horn, stands as the most dramatic example. Lakewold Gardens preserves another estate legacy with 10 acres of landscape architecture surrounding a Georgian mansion.

International flavors and military connections

The city's character reflects its proximity to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, creating a diverse community with one of Washington's largest international districts. Along South Tacoma Way, authentic Korean BBQ and Vietnamese pho shops operate alongside European establishments like Bruno's, serving Polish-German fare. The 340-acre Fort Steilacoom Park, built on an 1849 military post, provides extensive trails around Waughop Lake. Business travelers appreciate straightforward I-5 access and Sounder commuter train service to Seattle.

Basecamp for regional exploration

Lakewood's location makes Mount Rainier National Park reachable in under 2 hours, while Seattle and Tacoma remain within easy reach. The city maintains a suburban pace, with golf courses like Oakbrook attracting residents and visitors. Pierce Transit connects local destinations, though a car provides the most flexibility for exploring the lakes, international restaurants, and regional day trips.
