DuPont Washington sits adjacent to Joint Base Lewis-McChord — one of the most significant Army and Air Force installations on the West Coast. The community was historically a company town for DuPont explosives manufacturing. JBLM hosts the I Corps headquarters and serves as the primary deployment hub for Army forces in the Pacific theater. Pierce County earthquake risk from the South Whidbey Island and Tacoma faults is significant.
