Bonney Lake: A Plateau Suburb East of Tacoma
Bonney Lake sits on the Plateau, an elevated landform in Pierce County between the Puyallup River valley and the Cascade foothills. The city takes its name from a small natural lake at the center of town. State Route 410 runs through the city east toward Mount Rainier, providing the main access to the Sunrise entrance of Mount Rainier National Park in the summer months. Interstate 5 is accessible via State Route 167 about 10 miles west of town.
The city incorporated in 1949, though it remained small through the mid-twentieth century. Rapid growth began in the 1990s as the Plateau opened up to residential development. Subdivisions marching south and east from older town center pushed the population past 23,000 in the last census count. A substantial portion of the workforce commutes to Tacoma, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, and the greater Seattle area.
Lake Tapps, a large reclamation reservoir on the western edge of Bonney Lake, was created in 1911 by Puget Sound Power and Light as part of the White River hydroelectric project. The lake has about 45 miles of shoreline and is lined with residential development and parks. The White River Amphitheatre, a 20,000-seat outdoor concert venue just south of the city on the Muckleshoot Reservation, draws major tours through the summer season.
The Sumner-Bonney Lake School District serves public schools in the area, with Bonney Lake High School and Sumner High School as the two district high schools. Population growth has outpaced school capacity, pushing the district into construction and bond-funded expansion projects over the past decade.
