About Maple Valley

Once a logging crossroads at the convergence of three small lakes, Maple Valley incorporated in 1997 specifically to manage growth through the boom years. The Tahoma school district — which Maple Valley anchors — is one of the most consistently top-rated in King County, and that's the engine driving most of the demand. Houses sit on bigger lots than King's price tier would suggest.
