At one
time, it had only a gas station. Now, it is one of the fastest growing cities in Washington state. Bonney Lake is situated just 20 minutes NE of Tacoma, and an hour from the beautiful Mt. Rainier. Although the highschool students that reside here like to pretend to be white
trash/hicks, most are actually middle class - upper middle class people since there are three lakes in the small town to buy
choice property. Although Bonney Lake has
almost nothing to offer except for a movie theatre, plenty of coffee joints, and an awesome sushi bar, it is still way better than neighboring towns Buckley and Sumner.
