Every year, thousands of South Sound families pack up the car, grab a handsaw, and head out for that perfect fresh-cut Christmas tree.

Here are ten of the best U-Cut Christmas tree farms near Tacoma this season, including a couple of gems out on the Key Peninsula.
1. The Wreath Works – Port Orchard
The Wreath Works in Port Orchard is one of those old-school, choose-and-cut Christmas tree farms that feels like it’s straight out of a holiday movie. They open for the season on Black Friday and stay open daily until they sell out, usually in mid-December. The farm is packed with thousands of trees—Douglas, Grand, Noble, Fraser, even a few specialty varieties—and friendly staff who can help you identify whatever you’re drawn to. They also offer flocking, stands, cedar garland, and tree recycling info. A true one-stop holiday tradition.

Final Tips for a Smooth Tree-Hunting Day
- Measure first. Ceiling height, tree stand size, and the length of your car roof all matter. Future-you will thank you.
- Bring boots and gloves. Mud is undefeated this time of year, and a wet saw is not fun to grip bare-handed.
- Go early in the season for the best selection—especially if you’re after a Noble.
- Bring straps or rope. A loose tree on I-5 is a bad look.
- Make it fun. Cocoa afterward is nonnegotiable. That's science.Wherever you go, supporting these family-run farms keeps the tradition alive—and gives you a tree that smells like Christmas instead of a cardboard box.
