Mountain gateway town with big city proximity
Set 30 miles east of Seattle in the Cascade Mountain foothills, North Bend is globally recognized as a filming location for the 1990s TV series "Twin Peaks," but locals like Debi Hill — a real estate agent with TEC Real Estate Inc. – shrug off the pop-culture hype. “People love this city for the trails, forests and ski slopes 20 minutes away," says Hills. "We’re used to things being filmed here because the natural beauty is one-of-a-kind.” The Snoqualmie River rushes past rocky banks here, framed by the towering peak of Mount Si.
Strict water supply rules limit new construction here, sparking discussions about balancing progress with environmental preservation; this struggle highlights North Bend’s core appeal – a community rooted in its untamed surroundings. The largest area employers include Nintendo—which operates its primary U.S. distribution center here—the United States Postal Service and the North Bend Premium Outlets.
North Bend sits at the base of Mount Si, a stunning view even on cloudy days.
Three Forks Natural Area has space for Riverpoint residents to fish on the Snoqualmie River.
North Bend is close to many year round recreational areas, including Snoqualmie Pass.

Prices for these homes range from $850,000 to $1.5 million; custom-built mid-century properties set closest to the river command the highest prices.
