    Puyallup River
    The concrete McMillin Bridge has a long history in Pierce County. Built in 1934, it is an important section of State Route 162 that connects Orting to Sumner. The bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was designed by Homer M. Hadley, whose work contributed to bridges spanning rivers, lakes and creeks throughout Washington State.
