Duvall, Washington Real Estate, a Great Place to Settle In ---

Let say you bought some real estate in Duvall, Washington, and just started your commute to your new job at Microsoft. --- Imagine a drive along the beautiful Snoqualmie River, then crossing over a scenic bridge to breeze through a place called Novelty.

Duvall along the Snoqualmie River

You'll spend the next few minutes cruising through forests and skirting the amazing Marymoor Park before arriving at the headquarters of Microsoft in the City of Redmond. You've just completed a refreshing 25 minute commute through some of the most beautiful territory you can imagine, ready to work.

Duvall Grange Cafe

The route home is even more enjoyable as you just let the stress of the day fade away, replaced by the beauty of your commute. Upon arriving back in Duvall you are ready for a fine meal and decide to stop in at the Duvall Grange Café for a fabulous dinner with some friends. You are greeted by cheerful servers who escort you out to the back deck so you can enjoy more of nature as you begin to sample the most delicious food to be found anywhere. A variety of fine meals are created from the best local ingredients. As it happens to be a Tuesday, you are treated to live Irish music all night long.

Duvall Washington

No matter if you leave the Café and go home to a townhouse or private estate, wonderful homes can be found in a variety of residential areas. You will know how great life can be living in a Pacific Northwest treasure, the town of Duvall, Washington.

The real pleasure of Duval is the small, historic town feel, with all the up-to-date amenities. The downtown has just undergone a complete makeover with new sidewalks, planting areas, and repaving of the streets. Great parks and other recreational opportunities are geared to all ages.

Music and the arts are celebrated with festivals throughout the summer. There are a number of places to hike and go horseback riding throughout the Duvall area and the gorgeous Snoqualmie Valley.

Duvall is one of the most delightful places to own real estate in the greater Seattle area.

What a quaint place! I need to get moving on my hyper local posts. It's intriguing to see another area!

It does have a quaint feel Cheryl. We had lunch there this afternoon and it seems like a step back in time.

Frank--Your area has so many unique names like Snoqualmie River.  I noticed that when we were driving from Seattle to Vancouver last fall and again during the Olympics.  Yes, the scenery was so enticing, but I am sure the food at the Cafe is, too.  Enjoy.

I enjoyed the travelogue style of this post Frank. A good way to vary the structure.

Nick, it is time to emulate Frank again.

Hi Mary, yes a lot of the names come from the Native American traditions, which is a nice thing to continue.

Hi Steve, when I did a map to check the commute distance, I noticed how the suggested route went past some very beautiful areas, so it seemed like a good focus. Glad you enjoyed, and feel free to do it too.

What a cool way to get employees at Microsoft to consider a move to the town of Duvall. Of course, who are they gonna call, Frank? Probably Frank Kliewer.

Well Debi, maybe if I keep trying . . .

Hi Silvia, commutes are things we love to hate, how different to actually enjoy the ride . . .

My phone is on ready to help those Microsoft employees. Take care Elizabeth.
