About University Place, Washington

University Place is a city of 34,866 people in Pierce County, with a shoreline on Puget Sound. In the early 1890s the school then called Puget Sound University, known today as the University of Puget Sound, picked this area for a new campus. It bought land beside Grandview Drive, the main road running north and south. The campus was never built, and the school sold the land for about $11,000, but the name University Place stayed.

The community stayed under Pierce County's government for a long time. It incorporated as the City of University Place on August 31, 1995. Today it is mostly suburban, a mix of homes and businesses, and Curtis Senior High School and Charles Wright Academy both stand here.
