A rural community formed around small towns over 100 years ago
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.

"Your typical property is between an acre and 10 acres," Chmielewski says.
