Lake Morton-Berrydale is about 30 miles Southeast of Seattle. It is a small wilderness community with a population of 10,160. The 12.6 square miles includes 66 acres of water. The breathtaking view of the snow capped peaks of Mt. Rainier and Mt. Saint Helens are quite a sight that you can rest assured won't get old. The small community is surrounded by forests and lush, green foliage which explains why Washington is called The Evergreen State. The light snowfall in the winter only adds to the beauty, but if it sticks, it doesn't stick around for long so enjoy it while you can. There is quite a bit of rain throughout the year, but year=round showers bring great flowers!

Moving to Lake Morton-Berrydale

Moving to Lake Morton-Berrydale may be just what the doctor ordered. The fresh air will energize you and make you feel healthier. Roll down the windows and take in the cool, crisp air and sounds of nature as you cruise around the area in search of your new home. Make sure to start planning your move about two months in advance so everything will go smoothly. This is a prime place to live so the rentals go fast. You will want to visit all of your top rental choices in person. You really can't get a feel for a home by looking at pictures on the internet. Seeing properties on-site, and meeting property managers in person will help you determine if you really want to rent from them or keep on looking.

Various areas of town may be a better fit for you based on how close you'd like to live to work, as well as your preferred weekend activities. Take a drive from your office to the neighborhood you are considering to get a feel for the commute. Be sure you do this during your normal commuting hours because the traffic patterns change at different times throughout the day. This is really important because in King County, even though your destination may only be 30 miles away, it could take over an hour to get there. Don't get stuck spending a good portion of your day commuting when there is so much nature around to enjoy! At the very least, seeing Mt. Saint Helens in the distance, even in your rearview mirror, certainly doesn't hurt.
