Frederickson's population has tripled in the past 25 years
This population growth has also included new businesses and housing developments.
Frederickson includes the Frederickson Industrial Center—a major employment hub that connects central Pierce County to the Port of Tacoma.
Since the original Community Plan was adopted in 2003, a commercial center at 176th Street East and Canyon Road East has developed to serve the rapidly growing residential population and the industrial center. This center continues to grow. Major improvements to Canyon Road East, south of State Route 512, were completed to improve freight mobility and connectivity for residents.
Descriptions of the proposed changes to the Frederickson Community Plan are listed below by section. The proposed updates include other topics, such as the history of the plan area and information about demographics, development patterns and the environment.
