The 236,381-acre expanse of Mount Rainier National Park features valleys, waterfalls, sub-alpine meadows, old-growth forests, and glaciers. The county is home to the Clearwater Wilderness area. Events in Pierce County such as Daffodil Festival &amp; Parade in April and the Washington State Fair in September draw in a large number of visitors.<\/p>\n<p>Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, 22 miles north of downtown Tacoma, is the primary gateway in the region.
