Orting is the epitome of outdoor Pacific Northwest living

Nestled in a verdant valley between 2 major rivers, Orting is a hidden gem just 36 miles from Seattle. The Puyallup and Carbon Rivers converge here, where residents have their pick of 12 parks in a town that is only 3 square miles.

Outdoor enthusiasts flock to Orting, drawn by the famed Foothills Trail, a 21-mile paved route winding it’s way through rustic bridges and farmlands, and eventually through the center of town, as the mighty Mt. Rainier stands ever present on the horizon.
