Unique Features
University Place gets its name from a 19th-century plan by the University of Puget Sound to build a campus along Grandview Drive — the school never arrived, but the name stayed. Tucked into Pierce County about six miles west of Tacoma, the city sits along the Puget Sound with views of the Olympic Mountains and Mount Rainier, giving it a distinct Pacific Northwest character that feels both settled and scenic. Chambers Bay Golf Course, which has hosted major PGA events, anchors much of the western shoreline alongside Chambers Creek Regional Park, where trails trace the waterfront through open green space.
The city incorporated in 1995 and has grown into a self-contained community with its own schools, retail corridors, and local parks, including the beloved Curran Apple Orchard. Tacoma's museums, arts scene, and employment centers are a short drive east, making University Place a practical base without feeling like a suburb that depends entirely on a larger neighbor.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
