The Fred Oldfield Western Heritage Center

Washington State has a rich history of art, particularly as it applies to the unique romance of the West. If you’re interested in this romance, make your way down to the Fred Oldfield Western Heritage Center during your stay at our motel in Puyallup.

Local artist Fred Oldfield started this center with the goal of preserving and sharing the culture and history of the West. He accomplishes this through displays of historical Washington artefacts, art galleries featuring his own work and the work of other western artists, art classes, and more. See paintings, murals, photographs, and various other arts and crafts, each one celebrating the pioneer spirit that still resides within the Pacific Northwest today.

Visit the Fred Oldfield Western Heritage Center website for more information.

Mount Rainier National Park

No trip to our hotel in Puyallup is complete without getting a look at Mount Rainier. This 14,000-foot mountain is an active volcano and the most glaciated peak in the contiguous United States, standing as a defining icon of the nearby landscape. And, if you’d like to take a proper look at this famous mountain, you won’t want to miss the chance to visit the Mount Rainier National Park.

The park is a great destination for hiking, climbing, and camping. Featuring over 260 miles of hiking trails, there is no shortage of places to explore throughout the old-growth wilderness and local bodies of water. The more adventurous types can brave the summit of the mountain, though a climbing pass is required to go up the slope and a wilderness permit is required to camp within the park.
