The City of Lacey is an inviting urban oasis located at the southern tip of Puget Sound. Acres of forests, beautiful freshwater lakes, and stunning views of Mount Rainier greet our community each day. Incorporated in 1966, the City of Lacey has a legacy of dedication to parks, culture, and recreation activities. Our relatively young park system includes over 1,263 acres, diverse program offerings, and modern facilities. Clean air and water, outstanding schools, and a low crime rate make the City of Lacey one of the most desirable places in the country to live. Fortune Magazine recently ranked Lacey as one of the top 50 Best Places to Live for Families.
