Fehr & Peers Tacoma Opens its Doors
We opened our first office in the Pacific Northwest in 2008. Since then, we have seen our Seattle office thrive and opened a Portland office in 2017. Over this time, we have had the opportunity to work with numerous communities in the South Sound and Olympic Peninsula, places that have always held a special place in our hearts. As such, we are thrilled to announce the opening of our Tacoma Office! Our new office will allow us to continue to grow, better serving our existing and new clients, and giving our staff the opportunity to call the South Sound home. Above all, we look forward to continually serving and improving Washington communities through innovative transportation solutions.
