What's it really like living in Federal Way?

My partner and I are Household incomes average around $82,144 in Federal Way. It's a a smaller city city with about 99,232 people. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. What do you all think? Any help is appreciated.

I've lived in Fairview for about 5 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Pittsburgh, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Close to major attractions
- The job market scene is improving

The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Limited entertainment options

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for young professionals. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
