Puyallup is a compact, walkable town with a lively Main Street, local breweries, year‑round farmers markets and the big Washington State Fair — plus parks, rivers and easy access to hiking and community events, so multi‑week stays feel engaging rather than stuck.
It’s a short drive or Sounder commute to Tacoma and about 35 miles to Seattle for museums, nightlife and an international airport, while Mount Rainier and abundant trails sit nearby for quick weekend escapes.
