Take the roundabout on Highway 410 in East Bonney Lake, the one that channels traffic past a row of tilt-up concrete walls near Lake Tapps, and you will drive past freight doors, striped truck lanes, and a sign for Suite D. Suite D is where you check in for a 6:30 p.m. pickleball reservation. The building around it was designed to move pallets, not paddles.
That building is Peak 410, and the tenant in Suite D is Peak Paddle & Racket Club. The pairing is not an accident of geography. It is the clearest evidence yet of how this corner of Bonney Lake actually fills in: not through a master plan for gathering space, but through whoever leases the next available bay in a logistics park.
The Land That Was Supposed to Be a Town Center
Before it was a warehouse site, the city referred to this stretch as Eastown, and Eastown once had bigger ambitions. A mixed-use concept called Compass Pointe was proposed for the same ground, and according to Seattle's Daily Journal of Commerce, that plan fizzled out roughly a dozen years before the paper's July 2024 report on what replaced it.
What replaced it was industrial space. Developer Peak Structures assembled the land in pieces between 2015 and 2022, and the city signed its first development agreement in the fall of 2022, later amending it in the summer of 2024. By the time DJC covered the project, Peak Structures was planning nine buildings totaling more than a million square feet across roughly 64 acres, a build-out the city valued at around $200 million with the potential for 800 permanent jobs. Building 5 alone came in at 134,313 square feet, financed by a $14.5 million construction loan from Sound Community Bank, with half its space already leased before it was finished.
The project kept moving. By September 2025, the Tacoma-Pierce County Economic Development Board described an 847,335-square-foot warehouse already housing Peak Paddle & Racket Club, with a fourth building, 56,000 square feet, announced for summer 2026 availability. By May 2026, Kidder Mathews reported the initial 61-acre phase open for business, its first building fully leased, with developers now marketing the remaining shovel-ready parcels. The project's own site now describes 934,376 square feet spanning two phases, Peak 410 and a second phase called Fennel Creek II.
None of those numbers describe a town center. They describe a logistics park that grew a recreation tenant almost as an afterthought.
Where the Roundabout Actually Goes
The roundabout residents use to reach the pickleball club exists for a different reason entirely. Per the Tacoma-Pierce County EDB, the developer installed it as part of the development agreement specifically to manage commercial truck traffic into the warehouse district, working alongside the Washington State Department of Transportation. Civil engineering firm Barghausen Consulting Engineers, already under contract for the warehouse buildout, also contributed to that separate roundabout planning, according to DJC's reporting.
In other words, the intersection was engineered for semi trucks turning into loading docks. Anyone circling it on a Tuesday evening to make an open-play session is using freight infrastructure for a leisure trip, a use case nobody drew up when the traffic study was filed.
Four Courts Inside a Tilt-Up Building
Inside Suite D, the club itself reads like any modern indoor facility. Located at 22503 97th St E in Bonney Lake, Peak Paddle & Racket Club runs four indoor courts on hard, concrete surfacing with permanent lines and portable nets, open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
- Climate-controlled play year-round with diffused LED sport lighting
- A pro shop stocked through Pickleball Central, with free paddle rentals for anyone trying the sport before buying gear
- Booking and check-in through the CourtReserve app, including a free entry-level Basecamp membership and paid Summit tiers that add gym access and personal training
- A video replay feature called SaveMyPlay for reviewing your own games
- A player lounge for the between-games socializing that comes with a sport this social
The club also hosts organized play beyond drop-in sessions. On February 1, 2026, it held a session billed as "Pickleball with Pierce County Cougs," the kind of community programming that would look at home in a parks department building if this weren't, on paper, an industrial address.
The Developers Also Make Exercise Equipment
One detail from DJC's coverage is easy to miss and worth sitting with. Peak Structures is run by Chris and Rylie Leier, a Bonney Lake couple who also lead Teeter, a maker of exercise equipment. The people who assembled this warehouse land and negotiated its tenant mix are, separately, in the fitness business.
That does not mean the pickleball club was part of some original plan. The public record shows a logistics park first, with recreation arriving as a lease deal. But it does mean the fit was not entirely foreign to the people signing it.
What Else Is Renting Space Next Door
Peak Paddle & Racket Club is not the only unexpected tenant filling in this industrial address. According to the EDB's September 2025 spotlight, the same park is slated to bring in:
- Cascadia Pizza, a restaurant tenant rather than the logistics operations the buildings were designed around
- Starlit Quilts, a quilt shop
- East Pierce Fire & Rescue Logistics Center, a genuinely industrial use that fits the original zoning
- A support location for GoodRoots Northwest, the Pierce County nonprofit that in November 2025 shifted its entire model to a locker-based food assistance network, according to the Courier-Herald. GoodRoots already operates two locker locations elsewhere in Bonney Lake, at the library and at a site called Cedarview, part of a county-wide network that replaced its former storefront model entirely.
That is a warehouse, a pizza place, a quilt shop, a fire district's logistics hub, and a nonprofit's food-locker operation, all inside a project the city still zones and markets as industrial real estate. Peak 410's own marketing now leans into this, describing the surrounding retail, dining, and outdoor recreation along SR-410 as part of what makes the site attractive to tenants and their employees, a framing that would have sounded strange applied to a warehouse park five years ago.
Bonney Lake didn't get the walkable town center that Compass Pointe once proposed for this stretch of land. What it got instead is a working industrial park where a pickleball club, a pizza shop, and a fire district logistics center share a development agreement, each one a separate leasing decision rather than a single vision. If that pattern holds, the next thing to watch for in Eastown won't be announced as a lifestyle amenity. It will just be the next name on a tenant list, filling the next available bay.
If you've found yourself circling that roundabout more than you expected to this year, whether for a court reservation or just curiosity about what's moving into Suite D next, Bobbie Jo Sells Homes would love to hear what you'd want to see land in Peak 410 next.
