Life in Enumclaw 5 rating By Anonymous ( Jul 31, 2018) Small town of about 5,000. Great weather in late Spring and long Summer. Fantastic skiing very close.Lakes and rivers all around.Good restaurants and pubs. Fantastic place to raise a family or retire. ...Read More Read Less
Enjoyable Enumclaw 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) Enumclaw WA is one of those towns I was only peripherally aware of until I lived there.

There are no big box stores or chain restaurants in or immediately around Enumclaw, because the city has chosen to go the small-town route, which is scenic and often tasty; local trout is a good choice, for instance. The King County Fair and the Pacific Northwest Highland Games are held here as well. If you need a big city fix, though, it's about an hour drive to Seattle, assuming low traffic. Healthcare options and major corporate employers abound, however, so the commute isn't bad for work or health. Read Less
