Spanaway Lake Fishing Pier Replacement Design

Pierce County is intending to hire a firm to complete pier design for the Spanaway Lake Park Fishing Pier. Located at 14905 Bresemann Blvd S, Spanaway, WA 98387.

Background

Spanaway Park spans 135 acres and offers year-round fun with scenic waterfront views with two swim beaches, a boat launch, and a fishing pier.  The pier had reached its end-of-life and was damaged by watercraft in 2021. A subsequent structural analysis determined that the pier and support pilings should be replaced. Preliminary design work is complete and permits are in process.
