Homes for Rent in Krain - Wabash, Enumclaw

Krain-Wabash is an area of King County that developed during the 1880s to early 20th century. Small towns like Krain and Wabash grew as European immigrants — from countries like Slovenia — settled in the area to work in farming, mining and the logging industry. Today, the area remains rural, with some agriculture. "There's a lot of spaced-out farmland. I sold a few properties there for people who want to retire, have 5 acres and build a house on it," says Bart Chmielewski, a real estate agent with Windermere Real Estate/PSK Inc. Krain-Wabash is north of downtown Enumclaw. The City of Enumclaw, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, is known as the Gateway to Mount Rainier. Tacoma is about 26 miles to the west, and Seattle is about 40 miles northwest of Krain-Wabash. Among the home options are 1950s to 1970s ramblers, which range from the $500,000s to the $800,000s. Other architecture is varied, with custom-built homes of over 2,500 square feet from $1 million to $1.8 million. Some were built about 100 years ago, and others were added in the past few years.
