ERHS Class of 2005

20th Reunion Celebration

What an incredible weekend we shared together! After 20 years since walking the halls of Emerald Ridge, our class came together for two unforgettable events that reminded us why our bonds remain so strong.


A Weekend to Remember

From the moment we saw each other's familiar faces, it was like no time had passed at all. The laughter, the stories, the memories shared – it was everything we hoped it would be and more.

Whether you joined us for Saturday's adults-only gathering or Sunday's family picnic (or both!), you were part of something truly special. We proved that the connections we formed at ERHS are lifelong.

Thank you to everyone who made this reunion such a remarkable success.

Our Celebration Weekend

Saturday Evening Gathering

August 16th • Frederickson Community Center

An elegant evening of reconnection where classmates and their partners gathered to catch up, share life updates, and dance the night away. The atmosphere was perfect – intimate enough for meaningful conversations, lively enough for celebration.

  • Delicious food from El Koreano food truck
  • Complimentary beer and wine
  • Music that brought back all the memories
  • Photo ops and endless conversations

Sunday Family Picnic

August 17th • Bradley Lake Park, Puyallup

A beautiful outdoor gathering where classmates brought their families to meet each other. Kids played together while parents shared stories, creating new memories and connections that span generations.

  • Perfect weather for a park gathering
  • Families connecting across generations
  • Lawn games and outdoor fun
  • A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere

Until We Meet Again

2005 Throwback

2005 was a year of big-screen escapism, early internet wildness, and grappling with a shaky world—people danced to catchy beats, gamed on new consoles, and debated war over dial-up, all while sensing change was coming fast.
