A small residential development in Monroe in the Sky Valley

The setting is the Skykomish River Valley, otherwise known as Sky Valley, and named after the Skykomish tribe, area inhabitants for thousands of years. The valley environment includes scenic views of the Cascade Mountains and access to evergreen forests, hiking trails and other outdoor amenities.
