We are always amazed by the selection of cheeses you can get here. They carry different flavors of Cougar Gold cheese made by students at WSU. They readily give samples. We haven’t tried the sandwiches and soups but we plan to.

So many great vendors and yummy food. I will be back! Between the street food and the craft vendors, you cannot miss this Market. I have been to markets all over the world and this is one of the best in my opinion.

This little park has something for everyone. Two play areas for children, a paved walking/bike path around the lake (really a good sized pond), covered picnic areas, bathrooms, and a ball field. Not to mention space to play frisbee and I see fisherman all the time. I don’t know if it is catch and release or catch and eat. Great fun for the whole family. It is also very well maintained by the City of Puyallup.
6. Meeker mansion

A beautiful mansion that is currently being restored. Really can't beat the $5 admission price and it is clear the staff loves the mansion and its history. Restoration is currently underway on the ceilings - its kind of like an archeological dig since the restorers are removing 8 - 13 layers of paints to uncover the paintings hidden underneath. And then they are painstakingly restored. The ceilings that have already been restored are beautiful and I admit I was fascinated by being able to see the work underway - those rooms were also open. Beautiful woodwork throughout the house and a nice rose garden outside.
