Pierce County issued an environmental review for the Waller Road Business Park site development on July 2, 2026. The project, led by applicants Michael Ewing and Kevin McLeod, involves preparing two combined 4.93-acre parcels for a business park with 47,700 square feet of commercial space and about 85 parking stalls. The review is required under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) to assess environmental impacts.

The project is located within Puyallup's business corridor. The business park will serve as a new commercial hub, potentially creating jobs and increasing local tax revenue. Pierce County's environmental review process includes a public comment period that ends July 16, 2026. Residents can submit comments via email to Pierce County's environmental office.

This development follows a trend of commercial growth along Waller Road, which connects to Highway 167. The project is part of the city's broader economic development strategy to attract businesses to Puyallup's growing commercial areas. Pierce County will review public feedback before making a final decision on the project.
