North Bend

North Bend is a small town of approximately 4,600 residents, nestled in the upper Snoqualmie River Valley surrounded by rugged mountains and lush pastures. Interstate 90 provides a fast and direct commute to and from Bellevue and Seattle, making it a rural, yet convenient place to live. Considered the jumping-off point to Washington’s wilderness areas it features an awe-inspiring backdrop in the form of Mount Si; a challenging trail to the peak is one of the most popular in the state among hikers. In addition, the city maintains eight public parks making it a Mecca for outdoor enthusiasts.
