A Brief History of Frederickson

Frederickson is a census-designated place in Pierce County, Washington, situated in the south Puget Sound region. Like much of Pierce County, the area was originally home to the Puyallup Tribe, whose deep cultural ties to the land, water, and surrounding forests stretch back thousands of years. European settlers began moving into the region in the mid-1800s, drawn by the area’s fertile soil and proximity to the growing city of Tacoma.

For much of the 20th century, Frederickson remained a largely rural and agricultural community. Its relatively flat terrain and open land made it well-suited for farming and, later, light industrial use. The construction of major roadways and the expansion of Pierce County’s infrastructure set the stage for a gradual transition toward commercial and residential development.

In more recent decades, Frederickson has experienced significant growth driven in part by its proximity to Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) and the broader expansion of the Tacoma-Pierce County metro area. The arrival of large employers, including a major Amazon fulfillment center, has brought increased economic activity and a steady influx of new residents. Today, Frederickson sits at an interesting crossroads between its agricultural past and an increasingly suburban and industrial future.

Frederickson offers a practical and appealing lifestyle for families, working professionals, and military households alike.
