Palmer Property Acquisition
- Status
- Funded in 2003
This acquisition in eastern Pierce County will provide the City of Puyallup its only, and much needed, public access to an extremely popular fishing site on the Puyallup River. The acquisition of the three contiguous lots along the river will help complete the city's vision to provide publicly-owned river access. An additional benefit is that the site connects to Puyallup's multi-modal Riverwalk Trail and is close to public transportation. Public access to water was the top ranked type of facility identified by residents in recent public plan forums. The site is directly adjacent to the Milwaukee-5th Street Bridge, one of three bridges that cross the river in town. The site has excellent access and visibility, and is well-suited for a water access facility.
