Sumner is only 35 minutes from Seattle, 20 minutes from Tacoma, and an hour from Mt. Rainier–it’s the sweetest stop in the center of everything.
Famous as the Rhubarb Pie Capital of the World, Sumner is located between Seattle and Tacoma with easy access to Seatac Airport and Mt. Rainier. We’re also just next door to Puyallup and the Washington State Fair, which is one of the official parking/shuttle locations for the 2015 U.S. Open. Chambers Bay itself, site of the Open, is 16 miles away.
With a charming, historic Main Street, Sumner is always a great place to visit in itself and an even better place to call “home” while exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
