Economic Development
 The City of University Place is a growing community. University Place's campus-like setting, its relaxed and informal atmosphere, and its emphasis on quality education, public safety, economic growth and interactive government combine to create a beautiful and livable area. University Place is a community of 30,980 situated 40 miles south of Seattle and just west of Tacoma, readily accessible by Interstate 5 or Highway 16.
The Community and Economic Development Department works with the City Manager's Office, city departments, other governmental agencies, Chamber of Commerce, University Place businesses, developers, and contractors, individually and through their organizations to encourage the economic development of the community consistent with the policies articulated in the Comprehensive Plan.
