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.
