This mansion museum was a great way to spend a slow afternoon in Puyallup…read more It is currently a $15 fee for adults to do a self tour of the home. You are welcome to take photos, and please, take your time! There is plenty to read either on the pamphlet given to you at the entrance, or on the walls beside all the beautiful furniture, paintings, and artifacts. It's hard not to imagine yourself at the turn of the century, living in wealth in this fancy home, like the Meekers did. Ezra and Eliza Meeker were a fascinating couple who did so much with their lives, even into their last years. Traveling the Oregon Trail, hitting success with a hop business, Ezra being the mayor twice, Eliza founding the town's public library and strongly supporting the suffrage movement. I also can't help but to respect Eliza even more for her strength in character even though she was of small stature (4'8")! Especially for those who live in the area, I highly recommend you learn about this historic Puyallup family with a visit to the Meeker Mansion Museum!

I happened to be in the area and saw a sign for the Meeker Mansion, so I decided to check it out…read more Diane was very sweet and gracious and gave me a brief history of Ezra & Eliza Meeker. "Ezra was an American pioneer who traveled the Oregon Trail migrated from Iowa to the Pacific Coast. Once known as the Hop King of the World." A lot of good history of Puyallup. I didn't have time for the tour, but I appreciated seeing the mansion and getting a glimpse of this city's history. Next time, I'll have to do the tour. Thank you again, Diane, for being so nice and friendly!

Lael's Moon Garden is one of the most special nurseries in the Pacific Northwest. The gardens are…read morebeautifully designed and peaceful to walk through, and the plant selection is incredible. They carry an impressive collection of rare and unusual plants, including one of the best selections of Japanese maples I've seen anywhere. What makes this place stand out is that it's not just a nursery--it feels like a botanical garden you can explore. The staff are knowledgeable and clearly care about plants, soil health, and helping people find the right plants for their space. Every visit I discover something new. If you love gardens, rare plants, or Japanese maples, Lael's Moon Garden is absolutely worth the trip.

Some intriguing stories about how this glorious inlet became a true gem of the Tacoma area. Stunning views of upscale living and of our Mount Tahoma aka Mt Rainier. Our gondolier, John painted our experience with a beautiful saranade and a lovely rendition of a birthday wishes. This is a must do, mark it on your list for this summer. Recommendation: go on a Sunday. Still vibrant but not as packed. End or start at the Brimstone Bar on Pioneer. Enjoy and you're welcome!

This tour is 10/10. John is an absolute gem - he is kind, patient, flexible, communicative, and…read moremakes the experience extra special. We came with a group of seniors and he was super helpful getting everyone in and out safely. We plan to be back each summer. Would be a great wedding gift or anniversary/birthday occasion. The fact that you can bring wine and snacks is awesome. Learning history while on a boat in the sunny harbor - what else do you need?

I enjoy this little park! The park is close to the FootHills Trail East Puyallup Trailhead, Farm 12…read moreand Cafe Fika. The park has amazing views of Mt Rainier! A great place for all things photography, simply take a relaxing peaceful walk on the paved trail painted with yellow flowers (so cute) to enjoy the scenic view of Mt Rainier. During the spring, you can witness the beautiful blooms of the flowers in the field. I've seen other Yelper's beautiful pictures. I missed this last spring due to my frequent travels out of state. I hope to capture it this spring. The park is well kept. A children's playground was recently completed last year 2025 I believe around October/November. Pet friendly. I bring my grandpups Havanna and Kuba here to enjoy as well. Potty bags and trash receptacles also available. Porta potty on site. There are benches throughout the park. A swinging bench located at mid section the loop which faces Mt Rainier. It's a perfect spot to enjoy the entire view of the park and Mt Rainier.

The Puyallup Mom's page on FB alerted me that Van Lierop would be getting a new playground months…read moreago, and we finally visited! I wanted to wait until the hype died down a little bit - it still does have plenty of hype, but not too much at dusk in January. We took advantage of the rather warm, dry January day this week and headed to check out the playground after my kids were out of school. It's conveniently located right next to Farm 12, so there's plenty of parking in front of the park and next to the park. The playground is so much bigger than I expected! Huge! There are multiple play structures for a wide span of ages. My kids had a BLAST here. Even my toddler was able to get around pretty easily on the bigger structure (always anxiety inducing for me). My older two also really loved the rock climbing structures too. This park is about a 20 minute drive for us but it's entirely worth it. I see lots of trips here this summer happening!

Great park with a variety of activities for the kids to play at. The big hit here is the zip line…read more I like the large space of the park giving the kids freedom to run around as well as play on the slides and swings etc. I do wish there were some small fences to keep the kids a little more secure from the streets and quick drive away access which freaks me out as a mom when you're watching multiple kids with different interests in several locations. It's nothing new as a mom at a park but it would be nice to see that added someday.

Loyalty Park is a nice, quiet neighborhood park I went to in Sumner recently. That is what the…read morepark is mainly for is for the surrounding neighborhood. It's not a terribly large park or the kind of place where you spend an afternoon or a whole day with it utilizing the parks features so it isn't exactly a place that would attract people from out of town or many tourists( Like Point Defiance for example). There is a modern and fresh looking playground for kids to play on and a nice strip of land to play with your dog or an informal type of ball play which was nice to see.

My daughter had their wedding here, it was a great venue! The kids stood in the ticket booth and…read moregreeted everyone and took 'special tickets' we made and sent with the invite. We had a string trio playing before the wedding. The streets were blocked off for the spring fair so we opened the bar for the delay, and delayed the wedding so everyone could arrive, and the guys loved it!!

Ahhhhh the Liberty! Such history for Puyallup here…read more Growing up we went to so many movies I can't even begin to count them. The tradition of the owner, and then the owner's son years later, introducing the movie by doing his 'don't do drugs & turn in a pusher' speech. Do you remember that? Hmmmm if not, you missed out. The floor was often sticky and eventually the chairs were so worn out you sat carefully hoping it wasn't going to break. The popcorn and snacks were always a super deal. But the climb upstairs to the bathrooms was a bit creepy and only one toilet per man/woman's side to accommodate a theater full of people, made for awkward situations. *sigh* reminiscing can be bittersweet sometimes. Now on to its current use. It was bought out from the family who owned it and converted into an events venue. From everyone I know who has since been to one, I am told they did an excellent job with the place and its a great place to reserve for your wedding, conference, etc. My baby sister even hosted a local bands showcase for all ages which worked really well here.
