Pacific Ridge is a commuter-friendly area between Pacific Highway, I-5
Stretched between Interstate 5 and the commercial strip of Pacific Highway, Pacific Ridge is an enclave for commuters, shoppers and Mexican food enthusiasts in Des Moines. Elevated terrain offers sweeping views of Puget Sound, Mount Rainier and the surrounding mountain ranges. Shops, restaurants and services line the highway within easy reach, but green space is also a defining feature, with parks offering playgrounds, walking trails and sports fields throughout the area. Nearby, Saltwater State Park provides beach access and forested trails along the waterfront. The neighborhood's position along a major commercial corridor keeps daily errands simple, while the surrounding landscape and proximity to the coast give it a distinct Pacific Northwest character.

Close to Sea-Tac and Interstate 5, which runs to Seattle and Tacoma
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is just 5 miles north. Because of this, there are a lot of hotels on Pacific Highway. “You’re right there in the business of the airport,” says Richardson, “So it comes with the territory, but it’s also a luxury to live just five minutes from the airport.” Interstate 5 connects to Seattle, about 15 miles north, and Tacoma, about 15 miles south.
