University Place Overview
University Place Records
University Place sits on Puget Sound just west of Tacoma. It is part of Pierce County. City hall handles police, permits, and council files. Pierce County holds court cases, deeds, and voter rolls. You can search each under the Washington Public Records Act, RCW 42.56. The law gives you the right to most records with a few narrow exceptions.
