I don't recall the river ever flooding up in this area. Kent Valley would be another issue. We are very high up here on the Plateau. what we do have problems with is high ground water. The water tends it sit on the surface, if it rains too much.

There are a few places up in the Bonney Lake are that are not very cool, but the rest of the area is very safe. There can be problems in the Muckleshoot Reservation area of Auburn also.

The area is for the most part very conservative compared to the rest of King County. The other problem is transportation. The buses do not run at night. Black Diamond and Enumclaw are a very long ways from anything. If you need anything but the basics, then you either need to go to Bonney Lake or Kent. All the roads in and out of the area are two lane highways, with fairly high speeds, unless you get behind a slow poke.

There is very limited passing zones besides.

After nearly 20 years, I can say that I regret having chosen to buy a home out here.

The winds have not been bad for the past 6 of 7 years. The big winds hit us right after they logged up in the Chinook Pass area in 1982. The area took 120mph winds that winter. The last big blow was Dec of 2004. We lost our roof that year. So I have a feeling that we will be okay until they log again. It will depend on how long they planned the the re-growth for. It is normally about every 30 to 50 years. We are now coming up on the 30 year anniversary of the '82 logging. It will be interesting to see what happens in the nest couple of years.

One of my main concerns is transportation and shopping....

I would have to see where everything its.... take a walk from house to bus stop and stores to see if its something I want etc... but first stop was do I even want the area, hence the questions

My regret has more to do with being stuck in suburban sub-division here in the Claw. It is also a long way to anywhere. It is on the average about 12 to 15 miles to a town that is big enough to have real stores. There are houses in town where you could walk to stores, but there are very limited types of stores out here. We do have 2 grocery stores, and 2 national type of drug stores. But buying thing like clothing is next to impossible unless you are a tiny little high school girl.

I really don't think that there is much in the way of public transportation. There is a buses route that comes out to Enumclaw, but there are very limited stops in town. There isn't any PT out side of town.

I know that I will miss you. I think you should use the money that you were going to buy your DS's Christmas gift with, to fix your computer.
