 The location is beautiful - right on the shores of Puget Sound, too bad it has been destroyed by development and strip malls

Things to Do  

Go to Seattle

Go to Seattle, Federal Way

 machomikemd Says:  When in Federal Way, the choice is allways going to seattle since the small city of federal way has not much of a night life and attractions. Federal way ias actually nearer to Tacoma, being the next door neighbor but most locals prefer to go to Seattle which is about a 35... 

Drive Around Tips

Drive Around Tips, Federal Way

 machomikemd Says:  Driving in Federal Way can be confusing with the assortment of different numbered streets and the directions. An example is 1617 S 324th St, meaning its 1677 south at 324th street. If it is your first time here, better have a map quest or rand mcnally maps handy in your car....

Go to beer drinker's paradise -- 99 Bottles, Federal Way

 meliae Says:  If you're a beer drinker and traveling in Washington, don't miss 99 Bottles. ...it's like a beer museum, only you can purchase the beer! The stock is always changing due to limited/one-time brewings, seasonal beers, and rotating releases...99 Bottles keeps over 850 beers in... 

Water sports

Water sports, Federal Way

 karenincalifornia Says:  Water is big around Federal Way. The city is located right on the Puget Sound, and the area has many lakes. Everyone has a boat of some sort. My family had four -- a canoe, two kayaks and a ski boat that my dad built from some sort of kit, and which could only pull a skiier... 

Seafair

Seafair, Federal Way

 karenincalifornia Says:  Perhaps the biggest event in the Puget Sound area is Seafair. It is held throughout July and into the first week of August every year and features hydroplane races on Lake Washington. In 2006, the 57th annual race will be held. Seafair is more than just hydroplane races -... 

Olympic National Park

Olympic National Park, Federal Way

 karenincalifornia Says:  When I am in the Seattle area for an extended stay, one of my most favorite things to do is visit Olympic National Park on the Olympic Peninsula. It is easily accessed from Federal Way by driving south through Tacoma and then over the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (aka, "Galloping...

Vintage Park Hotel, Seattle: Don't stay in Federal Way, Federal Way

 karenincalifornia Says:  Federal Way has every imaginable chain motel, but I can't think of a good reason to stay in one of them. Stay in Seattle. Seattle is a much more fun place, and it is only 30 minutes away (without traffic). I've stayed at the Vintage Park Hotel in downtown Seattle twice, and...

It's Greek to Me!: Don't Pass up the Gyros!!!, Federal Way

 africateach Says:  I had to click on one of the themes for this restaurants, and because they did not list Greek, I just picked as you see. I have to say that this is without a doubt the best Greek food that I have tasted here in the Seattle/Tacoma area! This is a very low end place that seats... 

Salty's: Waterfront Dining

Salty's: Waterfront Dining, Federal Way

 karenincalifornia Says:  Amid an overabundance of chain stores and restaurants, Salty's is breath of fresh air. It does have sister restaurants in Alkai Beach and Portland, but it is not really a chain. Salty's is an institution in Redondo Beach, just next door to Federal Way. It was there when I...

What to buy: anything filipino like Smart and Globe Sim cards, Boy Bawang Chichacorn, Royal Tru-orange Soda's, San Miguel Beer, Filipino Longanisa's and lots more.

Please tell me it ain't so!, Federal Way

 karenincalifornia Says:  Federal Way is very middle class, with no extreme wealth and no extreme poverty either. Most homes are single family dwellings with shingle roofs and wood siding painted in subtle earth tones. Except for one.During my latest trip to Seattle, I took a side trip down memory...

School Daze, Federal Way

 karenincalifornia Says:  This could have been Federal Way's most interesting architecture. This is Federal Way High School, my alma mater. Go Eagles! When I moved to Federal Way, it was the only high school in the area, and had been for several decades. During my early years, Federal Way went...
