History

Puget was platted in 1873, but an economic downturn in 1893 stunted growth.[2] A post office named Puget City began in 1890, but was shuttered in 1893; a newly-renamed post office named Puget opened in 1904, and closed permanently in 1928.[3][2]

Parks and recreation

The community is near Tolmie State Park and the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge.
