Located only five miles east of Tacoma, Puyallup is nestled within a gorgeous valley with Mt. Ranier providing a spectacular backdrop. The best reason to come to Puyallup is undoubtedly the Puyallup fair, Washington's largest, as well as one of the largest fairs in the country, attracting over a million people each year. The town has built itself around the fairgrounds, with the fair running for three weeks in September and a weekend in April. Also home to the Daffodil Festival Parade which showcases Puyallup's role as a world-wide daffodil distributor, Puyallup remains a family-oriented destination spot for those travelers looking for fun and an authentic taste of Washingtonian culture.
