In the shadow of Mount Rainier and bordering Puget Sound, Federal Way's ruggedly beautiful landscape provides endless outdoor adventures, from hiking and camping to fishing and boating. But this fantastic location has even more benefits -- Federal Way is on the northeast side of Tacoma, less than 10 miles from downtown. Seattle is just 22 miles north, and the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is only 12 miles north.
Federal Way provides great shopping, plenty of restaurants, and amazing parks. Dash Point State Park, home to the popular Dash Point Beach, covers 398 acres along Puget Sound. It has over 3,300 feet of shoreline along with 11 miles of hiking trails, eight miles of biking trails, picnic areas, an amphitheater, and a campground. Visitors enjoy activities like swimming, fishing, beachcombing, kayaking, skim boarding, and windsurfing.
Wild Waves Theme Park provides a different type of fun.
