1. From Linda M.: "I have lived in Orting for over 20 years and I absolutely love it here. The community is tight-knit and everyone is so friendly. The view of Mount Rainier never gets old and there are plenty of parks and trails to explore. The cost of living is a bit high, but it's worth it for the quality of life here."
2. From Tyler S.: "Orting is a beautiful town, no doubt about it. But the traffic and congestion have really gotten out of hand in recent years. It's also becoming quite expensive to live here. Still a lovely place, but I wish the city would address these issues."
3. From Jennifer R.: "I moved to Orting a few years ago and have had a great experience so far. The schools are top-notch and the community is very welcoming. It's a great place to raise a family. The only downside is the lack of job opportunities, so many people end up commuting to nearby cities for work."
4. From Mark P.: "I've lived in Orting my whole life and have seen it grow and change. It used to be a quiet, small town, but now it's becoming more of a tourist destination. While it's nice to see new businesses and restaurants popping up, I do miss the simplicity of the old days. Overall, it's still a great place to call home."

A town that has everything! - 8/10/2018
Orting has everything. I've lived outside the town for over 13 years and one of my favorite things to do is visit the quaint valley town. The residence are kind, neighborly and take great pride in their little valley oasis. My family loves biking on the Orting Trail, stopping for a picnic at their amazing city park, and The Carbon River is beautiful and peaceful. Downtown has all the amenities, food , shopping, gifts and more. Majestic Mount Rainier views everywhere you go. Although nestled in the quiet valley, your less than an hour away from all the attractions of the cities Seattle and Tacoma as

Traffic on Hwy 161 is horrendous! As far as I can tell, there are no plans by Pierce County to widen the highway or otherwise improve this gridlock. Other than the traffic, we love it here! The schools/neighborhoods are great and it's so peaceful once we get

Climate & Livability - 8/7/2007
Orting is a small town near the base of Mt. Rainier. The weather is pretty nice during the summer and fall. Do have many days during the winter that can be overcast all day. We don't have severe winters and snow is really not an issue. It comes and then goes. It can cause driving issues for the near term until it melts. But we have had winters with no snow at all. Home developments have caused problems with traffic congestion. It's beautiful country and there are plenty of things to see and
