Washington State Department of Transportation announcement.
PUYALLUP – On Tuesday, March 1, 2022, the Washington State Department of Transportation and its regional partners launched an online open house to update the public and gather input on features for the future Tacoma to Puyallup (T2P) Regional Trail.
This is the first of two online open houses for community members to share feedback on future trail features such as location of trail entrances, informational signage and viewpoints.
Much of the T2P Regional Trail will run alongside the future State Route 167 Expressway, six miles of new highway that will complete SR 167 between Puyallup and SR 509 near the Port of Tacoma.
A final trail segment between SR 509 near the Port of Tacoma and downtown Tacoma is currently under study.

About the Tacoma to Puyallup Regional Trail
WSDOT, Puyallup Tribe of Indians, Pierce County and the cities of Fife, Puyallup and Tacoma are working together to plan and build the Tacoma to Puyallup Regional Trail. The trail will connect downtown Puyallup to Fife and Tacoma, filling a major gap in the Pierce County trail network. People who live and work along the trail route will have a new option to travel without a motorized vehicle to a variety of destinations.
