The Real Story

Living in Bonney Lake

Up on the plateau above the Puyallup Valley, Bonney Lake has been one of Pierce County's growth stories: newer master-planned neighborhoods, big-box retail along Highway 410, and Lake Tapps — the area's summer playground — right next door. On a clear day, Rainier dominates the southern sky.

It's a drive-everywhere suburb, but that's the trade for newer homes, bigger garages, and a small-town pace within reach of Sumner's Sounder station down the hill.
