Enumclaw is a somewhat rural suburban city positioned about twenty-five miles east of Tacoma and forty miles southeast of Seattle. The community maintains a distinctive and timeless small-town atmosphere, largely favoring locally-owned storefront businesses over big box retailers. 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).
