Review of Federal Way, Washington


Great place to live!
Star Rating - 8/19/2009
I grew up in Federal Way (from 6 years old to 20 years old) and there are a mountain of things to do there. From Enchanted Village/Wild Waves, which used to be owned by Six Flags and is being upgraded with new rides every year, to every type of restaurant you could think of, a huge mall and tons of shopping, including some very fun full-size Asian supermarkets. (Great if you love authentic Asian food. There are a lot of imported items there that you can't find anywhere else) There's a great mix of cultures there. It also has TWO large public libraries that are part of one of the best (if not THE best) county library systems in the US. Everywhere else I've lived, we've been lucky if we even had ONE tiny public library. Also, don't believe what you hear about the weather. Yes, it's gray and rainy a lot in the winter, but temperatures rarely dip below freezing and it's a million times better than all the snow I now get living here in the mountains. Plus, there are stretches during the winter that are sunny and pleasant. Summers are amazing, not too hot (around 85-90 degrees) and about 90% sunny weather. I'd move back there in a second if it weren't for personal and work-related reasons. I absolutely loved growing up there!
