Went to music in the park for Jazz and it was very good. Orchard Park is amazing with amazing views. The town itself has a lot of character.

Steilacoom is pretty small but I really love Steilacoom. It’s kind of a gateway city to DuPont, Lakewood, Tacoma, University Place and Joint Base Lewis McChord. Steilacoom is the oldest incorporated town in Washington. A lot has changed since 1854, but I like Steilacoom because it is very old and the citizens do quite a bit to preserve the aesthetic as well as the culture of the olden days.
I’ve used Steilacoom to ride the ferry to Anderson Island which is a small and nice get away and a close enough ferry rather than driving to Point Defiance or Seattle to get on a ferry. You can also catch the ferry to Ketron Island and I’m not quite sure if they actually still do regular ferry runs to McNeil Island now that the prison is closed and only violent sexual offenders are housed there now.
One other thing I like about Steilacoom are the views. If you stand at the edge of town either at the ferry dock or at the little pavilion/​park they have up on the hill behind the tennis courts you can get a magnificent view of the bay and may even be able to see the Narrows Bridge from where you stand. I think if I had real estate in Steilacoom, it would just be worth it for the views as well as the access to the beach.
I usually drive through Steilacoom as a way to forego getting on I-​5 when there is traffic and I just don’t feel like dealing with it. This actually happens a lot since we all know about the I-​5 traffic.
One last thing that helped me fall more in love with Steilacoom was attending their annual Apple Squeeze. I thought it was really cool to see old-​fashioned apple cider presses being used to make your own apple cider by hand. It really allowed you to see what it felt like to make juice the way possibly the pioneers did as well as see some of the old-​fashioned machinery. Check out the historical society if you visit or take a ferry ride or just take in the views. You won’t be disappointed.
