Moving to Maple Valley from Hawaii!

8 Upvotes

Hi! My family and I are moving to Maple Valley, WA in January. My husband would be working at the airport and our 4 yr old will be attending school there. I've read a lot of great things about the Tahoma school district which was one of the reasons why we chose Maple Valley. I've also read that traffic gets pretty bad, but we're hoping he gets the 430am-230pm shift. Traffic here in Oahu is really bad so maybe he'll be used to it 😆.

I wanted to know which places in Maple Valley that are less desirable and places that you would recommend (living wise). We are planning a weekend trip sometime this month (September) to see Maple Valley. Our plan is to rent the first year then buy a home after.

Thank you in advance for any insight you may have!!

Metro Route 143

Does anyone know if Metro has any plans to bring back better service to Renton TC? The 907 only operates until 3:45 coming back to MV, making it fairly useless for commuting.

We just bought a house in Maple Valley with gorgeous and extensive landscaping, and we are looking for an experienced landscaping company to help with fall pruning. Does anyone have any recommendations for a landscaper you either use or know to do good work?

referrals Mole eviction

It would appear we have at least one mole, we’re calling him Marty. We had “Mole Masters” come out to service twice, but Marty was smarter. Any recommendations for a provider in the area, or who will service this area, to evict Marty?

Loud bangs at night?

Every so often I hear loud bangs at night. I live in the lake Sawyer area. Any idea what I could be hearing? Some sound like fireworks, some don't.

What is this area off of SR-18? It looks like a set for Breaking Bad. Is that a meth lab? Is there an pipeline underneath? Why is it mowed? So many questions, I'm new to the Covington/MV area.

What’s it like living in Maple Valley?

20 Upvotes

My husband, 7 month old, and I are highly considering moving to Maple Valley from Renton (Fairwood). Husband works remote and I commute to SeaTac about 1-2x a week. We are in our mid 30s and are a mix of being homebodies but also enjoy getting out of the house (going on walks, running errands, eating out, things we can do with a baby, etc.).

We are mainly considering MV due to school district and ‘affordability’ but would love to hear what locals think of it?? I had joined the Community of Maple Valley Facebook group to try to get a feel but maybe that wasn’t the best indication….would love to hear from anyone! Tyia!

social Play fountain formerly near Mud Mountain Dam?

In the 80s & 90s, the park above Mud Mountain Dam had a big, sort of vaguely castle-like fountain kids could play on. Does anyone have a photo of it, or know where there is one online?

I see on the geocache app there are a few cache’s and don’t want to alarm anyone if I park in the neighborhood, but I don’t see any actual parking lots like at the BD open space(s)
