The Frederickson Community Plan and implementing regulations were adopted by Pierce County on October 28, 2003. Frederickson is centrally located in Pierce County and encompasses approximately 8,000 acres. The community is home to the Frederickson Regional Manufacturing and Industrial Center.

Over the past several decades, Frederickson, like many communities in Pierce County, has experienced tremendous growth. This period of growth has transformed the area from a quiet, rural community to a suburban community of many homes and businesses. Growth of industry and business within the area has also been significant with the arrival of The Boeing Company, Toray Composites, and dozens of other small and medium-sized businesses.

The community plan provides residents, property owners, business people, and Pierce County government with a detailed sense of how the community wants Frederickson to develop in the future.
