One of the best things about living in the Pacific Northwest, aside from the abundant greenery is the beauty of the many natural lakes in the area.
Those of us who live in the greater Maple Valley area , which is approximately 20 miles South East of Seattle, are fortunate to have several lakes available for public use. Lake Sawyer is the fourth largest lake in King County and allows motor boats; definitely a popular choice with water skiers and wake boarders and also boasts some of the best bass fishing (if tales are true) in the area!
There are several other smaller, non-motor boat lakes: Lake Lucerne, Pipe Lake, Lake Wilderness, Lake Retreat, Shadow Lake and Spring Lake (if I’ve forgotten any, please let me know) which fall within the coveted Tahoma School District. Lake Wilderness is open to the public for swimming and fishing and the Cherokee Bay community and Cedar Downs neigbhorhood both enjoy a community waterfront park on Pipe Lake. The others are primarily available only to those lucky enough to own waterfront real estate.
Traditionally lakefront property has been a solid investment due to the principle of supply and. demand.
Here is a lakefront snapshot of waterfront properties within the Tahoma School District Boundaries:

"I was bitten by the "house-hunting bug" at a young age when I would go through the Sunday papers with my parents, looking for open houses. My father was an NFL football coach and we had moved several times throughout my childhood before finally settling in the Pacific Northwest. I have come to view the house hunting and the moving process as an adventure, and although it can sometimes be stressful and inconvenient, I love the process as much today as I did back then!"
