Meet the Rae Family! New Neighbors at Ten Trails

Meet some of Ten Trails’ newer residents, the Rae family! Ben and Sarah Rae moved their family of five to the community from nearby Covington and couldn’t be happier with their new Lennar Aspen model home! “We came from a three-bedroom home and needed more space,” says Ben of the couple’s initial reason for moving. “We also were hoping to move into a neighborhood where the kids would have other children their own age to play with, and we definitely found that here at Ten Trails.”

Community Parks and Amenities

The Raes love spending time in the community park that’s just steps away from their front door, and the family enjoys taking walks over to the Civic Park where the Rae kids: Benny, Sophia and June, enjoy the playground equipment and playing hockey in the sports court. “We also bought bikes after moving in so we could bike around the community,” says Sarah. “We love the wide sidewalks that make it easy for all of us to bike.”

“Everything’s Included” with Lennar Homes at Ten Trails

Ben and Sarah were attracted to the Lennar Homes at Ten Trails because of the layouts and the builder’s “everything’s included” philosophy where Smart Home Technology and Voice Automation services, as well as things like windows and blinds, and stainless steel appliances are all set up in the home and included in the purchase price. “It was a tough choice between the Aspen and the Magnolia models,” says Sarah. “But we are really happy with our decision.” The family loves spending time in the home’s large, open great room and having the huge kitchen island for meal prep.

A Sense of Community

One of the pleasant surprises Ben and Sarah found when choosing to move into Ten Trails was how quickly they were able to meet other families in the community. “We have a text chain with some of the local couples and we all love to get together at the community firepits,” says Ben. “We have enjoyed how easy it has been to get to know neighbors since we’ve moved in.” Welcome to Your New Hometown, Rae family! We are happy you chose to move to Ten Trails! 360.469.4043 www.TenTrails.com

Ten Trails is Nestled Among Some of the Area’s Best Spots for Kayaking

Ten Trails offers a unique location, with all the style and conveniences of urban living, in a tranquil and rural setting. This new master planned community is just minutes from some of the Seattle area’s best spots for hiking, camping, mountain-biking and water sports. Avid kayakers will love the community’s close proximity to some of the area’s most scenic waterways.

Lake Sawyer

Located less than three miles from Ten Trails, Lake Sawyer is King County’s fourth largest natural lake. Launch your kayak from the public boat ramp, located on the northwest side of the lake, and pay only the $5 parking fee for a day of fun out on the water. Lake Sawyer also boasts one of the area’s best Independence Day fireworks displays! Ten Trails families who kayak and want an up-close-and-personal view of the show can plan to get the lake early to stake their spot for a waterside view!

Nolte State Park 

Just northeast of Enumclaw, on the edge of the Cascade Mountains, Nolte State Park offers 117 acres for Ten Trails residents to explore, including one of the park’s most scenic features: Deep Lake. The lake is perfect for exploring by kayak and, true to its name, the lake’s depth makes it a well-known local fishing hole. A Washington State Parks Discover Pass is required for entrance to the park.

Lake Meridian

Lake Meridian is located just a short drive from Ten Trails in nearby Kent. The lake is one of the few lakes in King County that allows motorized boating, however, kayaking and canoeing are also popular watersports on the lake. Paddlers are rewarded with spectacular views of Mt. Rainier from many vantage points on the lake.

Lake Wilderness

Lake Wilderness is a great spot for Ten Trails residents who would like to enjoy a nearby place for an early-morning paddle. The lake doesn’t allow boats with internal combustion engines, so it’s ideal for kayakers looking for quiet respite and reflection over the park’s natural beauty and a great spot for viewing local wildlife.

Point Defiance Park 

Just a short drive Southeast from Ten Trails, Point Defiance is one of the Puget Sound’s most scenic and diverse parks. Boasting miles of walking trails, a Rhododendron garden, botanical gardens, community pea patches, and zoo, the park holds a little something for every Ten Trails family member. Kayakers will love the access to the sound, where a quick paddle away from shore offers breathtaking views of the Olympic Mountain range and the distant shoreline of Vashon island. 360.469.4043 www.TenTrails.com

Water Sports, Picnicking and More at Nearby Flaming Geyser State Park

Located just a few miles due south of Ten Trails, Flaming Geyser State Park is a great spring day activity spot for Ten Trails families!

Flaming Geyser 

The park’s name comes from a remarkable geological feature of  once-active cluster of methane seeps. Due to depletion of the methane, there’s no longer any flame at Flaming Geyser, but visitors can read all about the history of the flame on a series of interpretive park panels.

Rafting, Tubing and Kayaking

Flaming Geyser has more than three miles of freshwater shoreline on the Green River for access by rafts, kayaks and river tubes. When the dog days of summer hit, and Ten Trails residents need some relief from the heat, the icy-cold waters of the Green River are a great place to cool off and hang out with friends and neighbors.

Guided and Interpretive Tours 

Visitors can schedule an interpretive walk through Flaming Geyser Park with a park ranger, or take a self-guided salmon interpretive trail walk using signage that is located along the river. In addition to touring, visitors can play a game of volleyball on one of  park’s four volleyball courts or hike along some of the park’s many trails.
