Located in Pierce County, Washington, Spanaway is an unincorporated suburb of Tacoma, and is often identified as being joined with Parkland, a more urban and less wealthy community. Spanaway has a population of about 22,000 residents. In 1890, the area was originally named “Lake Park” as a planned community by the Lake Park Land, Railway and Improvement Company, which bought a majority of the land east of the lake. Then the development company built a rail line that ended at the newly developed area. Tourists would take the train from Tacoma, while traveling to Mount Rainier. The railway ride was about ten miles long, or one “span” in rail slang, so the tourist reference that the last train depot was a “span away” from Tacoma became the name of the area. Residents living in a home or apartment for rent can find many great outdoor and recreational activities offered in Spanaway. Residents and visitors can fish, swim, bike, jog, and picnic at any of Spanaway’s beautiful parks, or play a round of golf at the Spanaway Golf Course. The city also has excellent dining and shopping opportunities. One of the largest and most popular events in Spanaway is the Celebrate Spanaway Community Fair, which consists of fun games, food, vendors, a car show, music, and much more.
