I live on the Enumclaw Plateau - not too far from Tiger Mountain. It's still farmland, but the housing developements are inching in.
The Plateau is centrally located - 2 hours from Eastern Washington, 2 hours away from the Pacific Ocean, 1 hour from Seattle, 3 hours from Portland, 3 hours from Canada. If it wasn't for all of the taxes and regulations, it would be one of the best places on earth.
