About Puyallup, Washington

Puyallup is a city of 42,973 people in Pierce County, on the Puyallup River. This valley has long been the homeland of the Puyallup Tribe, and the city's name means "the generous people." White settlers began staking claims here after 1850, but the Indian War of 1855-1856 sent them fleeing to Fort Steilacoom, and few came back before 1859.

Families farmed only to feed themselves until 1865, when Olympia brewer Charles Wood brought hop roots over from England. Ezra Meeker planted some of them, and in 1877 he set aside 20 acres of his farm as a townsite. By 1884 more than 100 growers worked the valley, and Meeker alone had over 500 acres of vines. An 1888 incorporation was struck down by the state Supreme Court, so on August 16, 1890, the town's 1,500 citizens voted again and chose Meeker as their mayor.

“a thrifty, neat little place, growing steadily, and looking forward to doubling or trebling its present population of five hundred when the rich loam soils of the valley are more extensively cleared.”
The Northwest Magazine, 1888
  • The Hop King goes brokeMeeker built kilns to dry hops, started a hop brokerage and sailed often to Britain, where he was called "The Hop King of the World." In 1892 hop lice swept the fields and ended the boom, taking his fortune with it. Berries became the main cash crop, then flower bulbs. Meeker later tried a store in Dawson City during the Klondike rush, found no gold and lost his money again.
  • A shotgun quarantineWhen smallpox spread around Puget Sound in 1891-1892, frightened families from Tacoma tried to escape to the valley. The town council ordered every Tacoman kept out at gunpoint. Tacoma and Seattle suffered through the epidemic, but Puyallup stayed healthy.
  • Camp HarmonyUnder Executive Order 9066, early in World War II, the fairgrounds were turned into a temporary camp for more than 7,000 Japanese Americans, most of them American citizens. Later they were moved again, this time to Idaho and the Minidoka relocation center outside Twin Falls.
  • Do the PuyallupThe fairgrounds were built so valley farmers could show off their crops and livestock. Known as the Puyallup Fair until 2013, when it became the Washington State Fair, it now draws over one million visitors a year. The city also hosts part of the Daffodil Parade each spring.
