Greater Tacoma Area
Located at the foot of Mount Rainier and along the shores of
Commencement Bay in Washington state, Tacoma is recognized as a
livable and progressive international city. With a population of more than
203,000 residents, the city that incorporated in 1884 has grown from its
historical roots as a home of sawmills and a bustling port that exported
goods around the world to a center for international exports, the arts
and healthy, affordable living.

City of Puyallup
In the early 1830's the first European settler of the Puyallup region,
Dr. Tolmie, in the company of an Indian guide and several other natives,
passed through what he called in his journal the "Poyallipa" valley, the
indigenous people who lived here for thousands of years numbered
about 2,000 and were closely related to the more populous race of
Indians living in the Nisqually River valley. It was their hospitable spirit
that gave this tribe the name "Puyallup" which translates to
"generous people."

City of Olympia
Located on the southernmost point of Puget Sound, the peninsula known
as Olympia was "Cheetwoot" (the black bear place) to the Coastal Salish
who occupied the site for many generations before the American
settlement was established. Olympia is proud to be Washington State's
Capital City. When the Washington Territory was formed in 1853, Olympia
was chosen as the provisional territorial capital by Isaac Stevens,
Washington's first territorial governor.
