History
This venue is located in Chambers Creek Regional Park in Pierce County, which is comprised of 930 acres of surrounding land that started to take shape hundreds of years ago. Industrial development of the region began in the 1850s with lumber mills and small-scale timber activities. Pierce County first began operations on the property in the 1950s with development of small shops and gravel mine in the place where this venue exists today. The area has fully transformed and is now inhabited by public offices, government operations, recreational areas and championship golf courses.

This place is nothing short of amazing! Excellent staff, amazing location, and I am continued to be blown away every time I photograph there. I recommend the Environment Service Building to ALL of my clients 5 STARS!
My name is Tammy Lewis and I own Delineations Photography in Tacoma, WA. I shot a wedding here at the Environmental Services Building last August and I have a few pictures on my Wedding Wire account from that wedding. This is a beautiful and outstanding venue. The views of Chamber's Bay are second-to-none, and if your couple is still around at sunset, they can expect some epic wedding photos at that time. This venue is perfect if you are having a very large wedding because it can accomodate lots of guests. The reception area is very large and I loved how it opened up to the outside so the guests could go from the lawn overlooking Chamber's Bay straight into the reception area. There are also quite a few places where you can do other types of shots, such as the bridge next to the builing that has a little woodland area around it. So all of your shots don't have to have the bay in the background. You will be able to get a variety of images for your clients. I hope to shoot a wedding here again in the future!!
I had the greatest experience photographing a wedding at the ESB! The indoor and outdoor lighting was superb for photography and the property views are breathtaking. The staff were all attentive and sincere; looking forward to capturing more weddings at this wonderful venue! -Shelby, Owner and Photographer at Shelby Schmidt Imagery http://shelbyschmidtimagery.com/
