Sumner is
nestled in the valley where the White River flows into the Puyallup River
combines the best of the past with a visionary future. Settled in 1853 by
pioneers, the city was built on agriculture, especially daffodils, rhubarb, hops,
berries, vegetables and turf grasses. In fact, Sumner is still known as the
Rhubarb Pie Capital of the World!
Sumner has retained its small town charm even
though it is now a city of 9,000 residents. The historic Downtown Sumner is
home to a variety of shops and businesses and hosts many community events
including the Daffodil Parade, Wine Walks and Music Off Main. The East Main
Street business district is a newer, vibrant business community with
restaurants, shopping and services.
