It’s History: In
1879, Frank and Mary Stevenson homesteaded what is now the center of town.
Early settlers called this area “Stevensonville,” but the name later changed to
Enumclaw (which means "thundering noise") after Enumclaw Mountain
near town. Enumclaw was platted on October 31, 1885, when the railroad decided
to come through this area, and was incorporated on January 27, 1913.
Enumclaw is situated at an elevation of 750 feet above sea
level in a pastoral setting between plateau farmlands and the Cascade Mountains.
The City of Enumclaw encompasses an area of 5.1 square miles. Its beautiful
homes with their well-kept yards contribute to the community being one of the
most attractive in King County. The surrounding plateau, with a population of
more than 40,000, is one of the largest thoroughbred horse breeding and
boarding areas in the United States.
Enumclaw is the “Gateway” to both north entrances to Mt.
Rainier National Park from Highway 410, and you can reach Paradise near Mt.
Rainier through beautiful Stevens Canyon during the summer. Enumclaw has a
current population of 11,490 with retail service, medical, cultural,
educational and recreational facilities for convenience and enjoyment. The
quality of life is the main reason given by local business owners and the
community alike for maintaining their residence in Enumclaw.
It is within one hour of any activity imaginable in the Greater Seattle Area, skiing, hiking, beaches, large city culture, and professional sports. There are numerous local facilities for golf, tennis and youth sports.
