Things to do in DuPont WA

DuPont is no longer a hidden treasure, but we have taken steps to retain our small-town charm and Pacific Northwest character. Our growth has been managed to the point where we can proudly state that though our neighborhoods have grown, though our population has dramatically increased, we still have that feeling of a nostalgic community of yesteryear where everyone pitches in and helps those in need. If you are drawn to small town charm and love helping your neighbor, DuPont WA is the place!

Growth for growths sake is not always healthy, that is why we have worked so hard to control our growth patterns, set aesthetic guidelines in place, and continue to build and expand our infrastructure to support the high demands of massive growth. It is important to our leadership that we provide a planned community that balances the needs of developers with the needs of residents and visitors. You won't find any "Big Box" stores here, but you will find Americana at its finest with carfully manicured landscapes, streets with cement sidewalks and homes with front porches, not garage doors.

Come enjoy the Pacific Northwest the way it is supposed to be enjoyed. Discover DuPont, WA!


Whether you drive, walk, run, bike, or rollerblade down McNeil Street or its paths, the view of Mount Rainer and its Northwest symbolism will truly take your breath away.
