Steilacoom serves as a central anchor on this coastal survey, where the historic town's street grid meets the waters of Puget Sound and several ferry routes, including the McNeil Island Ferry and Ketron Island Ferry. The landscape is a mix of dense residential developments like University Place and Lakewood, and large-scale military installations at Fort Lewis and McChord AFB. The geography is defined by its diverse water bodies, from the vast American Lake and Steilacoom Lake to the protected waters of Chambers Bay. Notable landmarks for local history include several significant burial grounds such as New Tacoma Cem and Home of Peace Cem. The inclusion of Fox Island and the smaller Ketron island highlights the maritime connectivity of this Pierce County region.
