Maple Valley Makes Top 10 List

Family Circle Magazine has chosen Maple Valley, Washington as one of the top ten towns to raise a family. The reasons given were excellent schools, affordable housing and convenient access to health care. It was also mentioned that the local Rotary raises 100 thousand dollars each year for local charities. 

Having lived in Maple Valley for over 10 years, I think that it's best attributes also include being close to Seattle while maintaining a small town atmosphere, it's proximity to Lake Wilderness, and the stunning views of Mount Rainier.
