Summary

The annexation includes the following parcel numbers: 0421312075, 0421312042,

0421316031, 0421316054,

0421312076, 0421316055,

0421316005, 0421312057,

0421312043, & 0421313068. All the properties are in unincorporated Pierce County, near the northeast corner of the City and the Tacoma Tideflats, adjacent to Council District 2. On March 11th, 2026, the property owners filed a Notice of Intention to Commence Annexation Proceedings. The applicants indicate they are seeking annexation to gain access to the City’s sewer system and to facilitate residential development of fifty-five single-unit houses.

The City Council (during the regularly scheduled City Council meeting) will conduct a public meeting regarding the request on April 28, 2026. During the public meeting, the Council will accept testimony from the applicants as well as any community members wishing to provide comment on the proposed annexation. At the conclusion of the public meeting, the Council will determine whether the City shall accept, reject, or geographically modify the proposed annexation application. Accepting the application, with or without modifications, does not commit the City Council to ultimately annexing the territory; it merely allows the proposal to move forward procedurally. If moved forward, the annexation proposal would go through a review process that can take 24 months, or more.

You are not required to take any action, but if you wish to provide oral testimony and/or written comments.
