City of DuPont

Very nice little town here on I-​5, all the shops are easy to get in and out of, nice parks here as well. I like how the town is laid out, so there is not confusing roads like Puyallup has. It does seem to be growing mostly due to the Military base nearby.
Overall, the ease of getting to here from I-​5, and back to I-​5, and seems to be a very safe and clean place to stop for whatever you need.

Had to move my review over from the Dupont Station Unilocal listing as I was reviewing the City of Dupont and not the main strip Dupont Station.
DuPont is a small circle of a town that seems to basically be all military. There is a lot more than military now in the town though with Intel, State Farm, and the new Amazon distribution warehouse. It just doesn’t seem as there is much room for DuPont to grow since all the land around it seems to be owned by the military.
I wish it had more restaurants or maybe even a real grocery store and not the general store downtown. I guess most people shop on the base or Lacey/​Lakewood. Maybe just having enough to barely keep you busy is how the people of DuPont like it.
I do love that I can go through DuPont to get to Steilacoom, University Place, Lakewood, and elsewhere to try to avoid I-​5. I just wish there was an entrance into DuPont from Mounts Rd as traffic can be weird in the morning with the truck station and people exiting to go to the base.

I have lived here in DuPont since 2005. I have to say it’s better than south hill, and the rest of Pierce County. Once voted 2012 the safest city in wa. state. Other than the mismanagement of town itself, thanks to the city council, mayor, and whoever else runs the town. I love this small town…

It use to be well taken care of in the good old days before the moron city council lost all the money now those buildings are just full of empty dreams
