University Place is a city in Pierce County, Washington, United States. Its population was 29,933 at the 2000 census. University Place received its name in the 1800s when the University of Puget Sound, a private liberal-arts college in North Tacoma, purchased land along the primary north-south route of Grandview Drive. The school sought to build a private Methodist college, but ended up selling the land back to the city for about $11,000. University Place remained an unincorporated part of Pierce County until the City of University Place was formed on August 31, 1995. Today, University Place functions as a mixed business and residential area near the waterfront of Puget Sound. In comparison to the adjoining cities of Tacoma and Lakewood, University Place (along with Fircrest and Steilacoom ) is relatively affluent and enjoys lower crime rates than most of its neighbors. The town is small, but has fielded notable high school football and basketball teams and is home to one of the finest private schools in the state. A world-class golf course is currently being built.
