Lake Tapps - Fish, Forests, Friendly People 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) Whether its one of those hot summers or cold winters, Lake Tapps always has something to do for those who enjoy the outdoors. Some of the things you are likely to do for fun when living around here are activities like fishing, hiking, camping, even swimming in warmer months. Lake ...Read More Tapps is a smaller town, but it is indeed close to larger cities like Tacoma, and Seattle. In fact, we're a little less than 30 miles away from SeaTac International Airport, one of the largest on the west coast.

Living in Lake Tapps is a moderately slow life compared to the pace of the larger cities like Seattle. Beautiful upscale homes sit on the lakefront, but if you're looking for a more moderately priced home there are real estate opportunities to be found on the outskirts of the area as well. The best place to find tasty cuisine and drinks around Lake Tapps would definitely be Sumner, a larger town right off the Sumner Tapps Highway.
