Where is market square ? I’m new in town.
Welcome to town! It’s right across from the entrance to the University Place Pierce County Library. Parking is free underneath that building. There is a complex of apartment building, retail shops and businesses in that location right off Bridgeport Way. The Whole Foods is just north of it.
