Orting is a former farming community with mountain views
With a front-seat view of scenic Mt. Rainier, Orting lives up to its reputation as a small town with a big view. Orting’s history dates back to the middle of the 19th century, transforming from a small farming community to a booming hub for daffodil bulb production in the 1920s to a city known for producing Christmas trees. Terrafin real estate agent Brenna Smith, who has sold several homes in the area, says, “It’s a very cozy and quaint community that feels very welcoming, and has the most incredible view of Mt. Rainier,” and adds that being able to see the mountain close up is a big draw for prospective homebuyers.

Orting’s original homes still stand
Some of the homes from the bulb boom of the 20s can be seen throughout the town, including cozy three-bedroom houses with gabled roofs and a covered front patio that gives them both curb appeal and a classic charm. Craftsman-style homes have wide, sun-facing windows that let in plenty of natural light for your plants. Newly built homes throughout Orting won’t break the bank. "There are spacious properties that sit on lots up to 8,000 square feet that range between $450,000 and $650,000," Smith says.

Mountain hikes and rivers are nearby
With Mt. Rainier only 30 miles away and the city bounded on each side by the Puyallup and Carbon Rivers, there’s plenty of nature to experience. However, several parks around the city are close by for some fresh air.

Dogs can make new friends at the Orting Dog Park. Parents can watch their kids play soccer in the expansive field at Whitehawk Park or take them to Hansberry Park to let them burn off energy on the playground.
