Mostly residential with a fair bit of forest winding behind houses, it offers modern homes set against the towering firs that give it its name. “It’s a really charming planned community at the north end of the Seattle suburbs, right where the houses end and the farms start,” says Janet Spesock, managing broker at KW North Sound, who has worked in the area for over 8 years. “It’s got some nice woods, a lot of little parks, and it’s a short drive to shopping areas in Mill Creek and Snohomish.”
