Why Did You Move to Enumclaw?

Everyone has a story about what drew them to Enumclaw — or kept them here. What's yours? Share it in the comments.

Our conversation with Chris Smith last week, about the 'You know you're from Enumclaw if you...' Facebook page he helped create, got us thinking about the many people who have called or still do call Enumclaw home.

Smith spent 16 of his formative years here, and though he now lives in Bothell, Enumclaw still holds a special place in his heart. "Childhood should be magical on at least some levels and Enumclaw absolutely provided that for me," he said.

Take a look at some of the conversations happening on the Facebook page and you'll see that Smith is far from the only person who cherishes memories of growing up here.

It's pretty clear why people who have moved here stayed here, but we're curious anyway: why did you move to Enumclaw in the first place? Was it before your time? Or was it your decision for your family? Either way, tell us in the comments.

Hi, Susan and Lou. We do know that our events calendar has issues at the moment with incorrect timesRead More displaying, and our engineering team is at work to correct this. My best suggestion at the moment is to post a comment on an event with the correct time, if you aren't able to go in and edit an event that you previously posted. Our ownership has not changed -- we have been and continue to be a part of the AOL family. Our intent with the new design is to highlight the great content that our users create and share with the community. We know there have been some bumps with our launch and are working diligently to fix them. We hope you'll be patient with us and continue to share on Patch.

I agree the previous version was much better and I am not adjusting well to the new version at all.Read More Its definitely not a better layout. Also have had many problems with the events calendar which may not even be fixable.
