Ruston, WA Real Estate

Ruston is a town in Pierce County, Washington, United States. The population was 738 at the 2000 census. Although it is nearly indistinguishable from the rest of the City of Tacoma, Washington, the predominantly residential middle-class area still retains its status as a separate city long after its status as a company town has expired.

Ruston was officially incorporated on November 10, 1906. It is surrounded on one side by Commencement Bay and all other sides the city of Tacoma. It was established by industralist William Rust [ citation needed ] as a company town for his employees. The primary industry for decades was the ASARCO copper smelting plant on the waterfront. The smelter and its landmark smokestack have been gone for years, and a massive Superfund cleanup at the former site has been underway since the early 1990s.

Ruston is located at 47 °17 49 N, 122 °30 38 W (47.296906, -122.510513) GR1.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.7 km (0.3 mi ), all land.
