History

Bonney Lake was incorporated as a town on February 28, 1949, after the establishment of a co-op venture to bring electricity and tap water service to local residents. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to disincorporate the town from 1952 to 1972. [6]

The City of Bonney Lake and the Greater Bonney Lake Historical Society placed in 13 historical markers between 2009 and 2015, including one for the Naches Trail, which was a well-used immigrant and military trail during the later half of the 1800s. [6]

The 2020 Washington Labor Day fires forced the evacuation of an estimated 2,500 residences. [7] The fire spread across 500 acres, and the evacuation lasted from Tuesday, September 8 until the following Sunday, September 12. [8]
