7 Apartments for Rent

North Bend achieved a healthy level of fame thanks to David Lynch's Twin Peaks television series. The show also immortalized Twede's Caf̩ at 137 West North Bend Way, where you can still enjoy the homemade cherry pie and a "damn fine cup o' coffee" to boot!

The city of North Bend, which is located in King County, Washington, lies 30 miles east of Seattle. However, North Bend dances to its own beat and enjoys its personal brand of the arts, culture, and internal vibrancy. Yes, it's true that it could prove costly to live here, given that the prices in general are higher than the rest of the county. But for those who are looking for rental homes in North Bend, that extra cost is more than worth it! Other than merely serving as a bedroom community to Seattle and Bellevue, North Bend relies more and more on its tourist trade, which is centered around the growing number of factory outlet shops. Nintendo North Bend also provides employment for many individuals who choose to reside in this little community of around 5,500 people.
