A small King County town at the convergence of two rivers

At the convergence of the Snoqualmie and Raging rivers, between the dense fir woodlands of King County, Fall City is a quiet, rural community with walkable streets and a small-town atmosphere. Around 25 miles east of downtown Seattle, large lots with thick foliage and surrounding green spaces allow for a sense of privacy, with picturesque mountain views across town. “People in Fall City really love the easy access to Interstate 90,” says Tyler Freed, a Seattle-area real estate agent with Windermere Real Estate. “You have easy access to Bellevue, where a lot of locals commute to work, and you’re close to lots of outdoor recreation.” Numerous state forests and protected natural areas are a short drive from Fall City, while the shops of Issaquah are just 10 miles southwest. Additionally, Fall City has a CAP Index crime rating of 2 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4.

Century-old bungalows meet expansive wooded lots in Fall City

The peaceful residential lanes are lined with a wide range of architectural styles, but verdant lawns and wooded lots maintain a sense of cohesiveness across town. Small bungalows and ranch-style homes dating back to the early 20th century range from $550,000 to $790,000, while larger houses can go from $900,000 to 1.4 million, depending on lot size and square footage. “Compared to the rest of King County, Fall City is a bit more affordable,” says Freed. “And you can also get more acreage for your money.” Close to downtown, yards sit on quarter and half-acre lots, while on the west side of town, lots can reach between 5 and 10 acres. King County is one of the most expensive counties in Washington, with a median home price of $892,000 according to the National Association of Realtors.
