About

Pierce College, located in Puyallup, Washington, is a multi campus public two year institution founded in 1967 and was originally known as CLover Park Community College. That same year the state of Washington passed a law shifting control of community colleges from local school districts to the state, resulting in new operations for the school and a new campus in Fort Steilacoom, resulting in a name change to Fort Steilacoom Community College. Increased enrollment resulting in a name change to the current, as it better reflects the role of the school and its service area. The campus in Puyallup was built in 1989 and opened a year later, becoming a full service college in 1999.
