Heya Tacoman's and fellow Pierce County humans ! Please take a moment of your time to fill out this survey helping provide a voice to all for public safety in our county!

Pierce County Public Safety Survey - This survey focuses on values and priorities, not policies or candidates. There are no right or wrong answers. Community members will compile responses into a summary report for the Pierce County Charter Review.
If you're in Tacoma or Pierce Co., you may have just got a second ballot (for the Pierce Conservation District board).
Once you sign-up to receive them, you keep getting them when an election is happening.
Why they don't go out with the regular ballot is an odd quirk of WA state law (it's complicated). It's too late to request one for the current election, but you can still sign up on their site and be eligible for the next. #tacoma #piercecounty #washington

The approximate location of the fatal collision on SR 705 just east of SR 507, via Google Street View.Ty Addison Curtis from Puyallup was biking near McKenna just east of the Nisqually River in south Pierce County when a person driving struck and killed him January 22. He was 55.
According to the Washington State Patrol, Curtis was biking on SR 702 near SR 507 shortly after 6:30 p.m. January 22. The incident summary says he was riding eastbound on the westbound side of the highway when a 45-year-old from Anchorage, Alaska, struck Curtis while driving a Hyundai Sonata. Curtis landed in the eastbound lane and was declared dead at the scene. The driver remained at the scene and was not charged, though the cause of the collision remains under investigation.

Our condolences to Curtis’s loved ones.

Hype for the Future 79Y: City of Rugby, North Dakota
Overview Located in the relatively northeastern portion of the State of North Dakota, the City of Rugby is the county seat of Pierce County and is often billed as the “Geographic Center of North America” by numerous definitions. Though supposedly home to the Victorian Dress Museum, the most important attractions within the City include the Pierce County Fairgrounds and the seasonal Prairie Village Museum, with the entire region situated along the intersection of Routes 2 and 3.https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/01/18/hype-for-the-future-79y-city-of-rugby-north-dakota/
I love living in the greater Tacoma area, but Pierce County really is a shit hole. I never saw a confederate flag flying on a truck until I moved to this county.
"Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank is no stranger to controversy."
"But now, a leading police group in Washington is considering expelling him from its ranks over comments to state lawmakers."

This guy is a huge jackass! I am hugely disappointed in Pierce County voters for putting this guy in. What a fucking mistake!!
Trump has turned ICE into his own political intimidation group of thugs to do his dirty work and stifle dissent so he can continue to profit from his corruption.
If practical work with local authorities and law enforcement to monitor and document abuses by ICE so appropriate criminal and civil action can be taken.
