You parked already, so why not eat there? Options from frugal to fancy are near lots in Puyallup, Lakewood BY SUE KIDD | Staff writer Parking is expected to be very limited in University Place during the U.S. <strong>Open</strong>, which is why the United States <strong>Golf</strong> Association will employ nearly 300 shuttles to ferry thousands of visitors from two main shuttle areas in Lakewood and Puyallup. Chances are, you’ll need to source a meal or two around the shuttle areas. I’ve mapped restaurants located within about a mile or two of each shuttle site.
