Ruston is a city in Pierce County, Washington, United States. The population was 1,055 at the 2020 census.[2]
Although it is nearly indistinguishable from the adjacent city of Tacoma, the predominantly residential area still retains its status as a separate municipality long after it ceased to be a company town.[4] The local government opted to reclassify Ruston as a city in late 2012.
