A rural Cascades Foothills community in southern King County
Over 100 years ago, Veazie, a community in south King County, was a small town. The coming of the railroads, plus the timber industry, mining and homesteading, led to the development of the area in the late 19th century. The company Veazie & Russell Logging gave the former town its name. It's in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains and remains rural and quiet, with farms, forests and abandoned train tracks. To the south is Birch and the small city of Enumclaw, which is known as the Gateway to Mount Rainier. "Veazie is considered Enumclaw. It's very spaced out. People who move here want some acreage and to be a little further out," says Bart Chmielewski, a real estate agent with Windermere Real Estate/PSK Inc.
Veazie offers a picturesque Northwest experience.
At one time Railroads were a large part of the industry in and around Veazie.
