History

Pacific was platted on April 10, 1906, by real estate promoter Clarence Dayton Hillman as “C.D. Hillman’s Pacific City Addition to the City of Seattle”. The development would take advantage of the nearby Puget Sound Electric Railway, which provided connections to Seattle and Tacoma. It was officially incorporated as a town on August 10, 1909.

In 1995, it annexed a portion of unincorporated Pierce County.

Record-breaking rains in November 2006 pushed the White River over its river banks along Pacific City Park, creating a temporary 25-acre (100,000 m) lake.

In January 2009, release of stormwaters from the Mud Mountain Dam caused even greater flooding, inundating more than a hundred homes.
