Located along Puget Sound, about 10 miles south of Tacoma and 20 miles north of Olympia, Lakewood is a newer city with a long history. Incorporated in 1996, Lakewood is home to Old Fort Steilacoom, established in 1849. Today, four original restored buildings, a cemetery and the parade ground remain of what was the first official U.S. presence in Washington Territory. In the 1930s, Lakewood was known as “The Lake District.” More than a dozen freshwater lakes, prairie land and forested areas are combined with views of the Cascade Mountains, making Lakewood a beautiful place to live. Real estate options consist of single-family homes, some condominiums and townhouses and land lots for custom building. The Lakewood Parks and Recreation Department offers sports leagues, classes, and activities for all ages. American Lake North Park and Marina and Harry Todd Community Park provide boat launches, beaches, swimming areas, and picnic grounds and Kiwanis Park offers fun for skateboarders and in-line skaters at a 12,000-square-foot concrete skate park. Children in Lakewood attend schools in the Clover Park School District. Each school focuses on student achievement and provides a variety of special and accelerated programs. Residents of Lakewood meet with friends, conduct business and shop at the local Towne Center. This area has two beautiful and challenging public golf courses and two private courses. Annual Lakewood events include summer concerts, Halloween Fair, Parks Appreciation Day, Chili Cook Off, Summerfest, Independence Day Celebration and various parades.
