Cascadia New Community

SWA provided master planning and submittals to Pierce

County for development approvals for this 4700-acre

new community outside Tacoma, Washington and that

plan was approved based on the lower density market

analysis of the time. Due to continued growth in the

Seattle area, the density of the plan has dramatically

increased. Phase One features a neo-traditional town

center, a storm water management system which

presented the opportunity for water to be incorporated

with the parks and public open spaces across the

site connected with extensive wooded corridors for

equestrian, bicycle and pedestrian trails.
