Population: 5,795
Located in Pierce County
Milton is a unique community, unlike many others in the Tacoma-Seattle corridor, because of its small-town atmosphere and character. Milton prides itself in maintaining this small town character by providing strong community resources through its senior center and youth activities, quality schools, strong leadership, and its focus on building relationships between its citizens, businesses, and City Hall.
Recreation:
An integral part of Milton's quaint quality has been, and continues to be, the preservation of trails, parks, and landscape buffers. These "links of green" connect the city center with both residential and commercial areas, forming a beautiful park like setting making the town easily accessible for both pedestrians and bicyclists.
Milton's park and open space areas include: Hill Tower Park, Interurban Trail, Olympic View Park, Triangle Park, West Milton Park. The City also has plans for two additional parks, Skate Park and West Milton Nature Preserve.
Milton's Interurban Trail, located on the right-of-way of the old Interurban Railway, is one of the area's most scenic trails with its heavily forested areas, scenic viewpoints, along with the Sweetwater Creek, a branch of the Hylebos, which meanders along a wide portion of the trail.
Milton is proud of its annual Parade and Picnic, the largest community event of the year. The first annual parade in 1999 was a big success and will continue as a permanent addition to the event. Held in Milton's Triangle Park, the picnic draws many residents with its free food, children's activities and entertainment.
Today, Milton still enjoys its small town appeal. It is a quiet, peaceful community surrounded by fields, trees, open vistas and gardens. It's quiet atmosphere offers a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of neighboring Tacoma, just ten minutes away. Through strong leadership, frequent community events, quality schools, and strong relationships between citizens, business and city government, Milton has retained its picturesque charm and quality.
