Lacey

If you love outdoor recreation, you'll love Lacey. 425 acres of wooded parkland, four golf courses, three freshwater lakes and the shores of Puget Sound grace the community, with the 3,700-acre Nisqually national Wildlife Refuge forming its eastern border. Numerous community events, including an outdoor summer concert series, an old-fashioned county fair, the Capital Food and Wine Festival, and Lacey Spring Fun Fair appeal to visitors of all ages.
