Puyallup sits in the low-lying reaches of South Puget Sound, tucked into a valley where the river gathers snowmelt from Mount Rainier and carries it toward Commencement Bay at Tacoma. If you’re traveling toward the glacier-clad volcano, you’ll likely pass through Puyallup, and among the many sweeping views of the peak—the Indigenous people’s Tahoma—my favorites are found in old photographs that frame it as the monumental backdrop to the acres upon acres of daffodil fields that once stretched across portions of the valley floor.
