Corporate Events

A Unique Historic Estate

Lakewold Gardens differs from other properties in the Puget Sound area because we offer comfortable accommodations in an inspirational and relaxing environment. We offer a unique and serene property for meetings, corporate retreats, and presentations. Amidst the garden sits the historic Wagner House that offers a variety of meeting room space that can be utilized in many ways – from a small staff retreat in our upstairs boardroom overlooking the gardens, to an evening reception under our wisteria draped veranda – an event held at Lakewold is unlike any other.

We are located on the shores of Gravelly Lake in Lakewood, WA and just minutes from I-5 and downtown Tacoma. Although we are near the hustle and bustle of the city, it feels worlds away.
