About Sumner

Founded in 1853 as 'Stuck Junction' on the railroad, Sumner became one of Pierce County's earliest farm towns — daffodils, raspberries, and rhubarb made the valley famous. The historic downtown survived urban renewal that wiped out most of its peers and now anchors a town that locals defend like a secret. The Sounder commuter rail puts Seattle 50 minutes away without a freeway.
