Small-town charm with the mountains and the city at arm’s reach

Suburb Rural Commuter Mountains Scenic

Enumclaw is a somewhat rural suburban city positioned about twenty-five miles east of Tacoma and forty miles southeast of Seattle.

Downtown features small but thriving collective of restaurants and specialty shops along Griffin Avenue, providing a popular central hangout for many locals. Rolling pastures surround the city, with the Cascade Mountains providing unbeatable scenery as well as golden opportunities for outdoor adventures year-round (Crystal Mountain Resort is less than an hour’s drive away).
