In getting ready to work with a large project in Lakewood, I have been doing some research on the area and it's history.  The history is rich and interesting even though Lakewood has only been incorporated since 1996.  Noteable residents of Lakewood have been a part of much of what has happened in all of Pierce county.

There are also many historical sites now open to the public as parks and more such as Lakewold park, and Fort Steilacoom park.  The many lakes almost all have public access as well, so residents of the Lakewood area can enjoy year round lake lifestyle whether they live on the lakes themselves or not.  The lakes are known for water skiing and fishing or simply a great place to have an leisurely afternoon on the water.  Even many of the buildings we pass daily in Lakewood have historical significance ( such as Hollywood video)  as many of the buildings either were designed by an early visionary architect, or are based on matching his design.

I learned alot from this video, for instance, did you know that Lakewood is home to one of the oldest Golf and Country clubs in the US?  Also did you know that Lakewood also boasts one of the ONLY hunt clubs in Western US?  The information on Lakewood's past and it's development along with interesting information like this make this video worthwhile to watch.

If you are relocating to Lakewood I would suggest you watch to see the rich heritage of the area you are moving to.  If you already live in the area you will simply find it interesting.
