Washington
The Little Wapato Lake real estate market is a limited supply marketplace for lake property in Washington.
Normally there are very few lake homes for sale at Little Wapato Lake, and very few listings for lots and land.
Little Wapato Lake is one of the many smaller Washington lakes.
Wapato Lake is part of Tacoma, a neighboring city of Seattle that offers the same upbeat, urban lifestyle at more affordable prices.
Tacoma houses a wide variety of shops, restaurants, and attractions along with St. Joseph Medical Center and the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Seattle is approximately 35 miles north on Interstate 5.
Surrounded by the dense forests of Wapato Park, the lake is a natural oasis within the city of Tacoma. The serene waters are decorated with lily pads and commonly home to geese, ducks, and other waterfowl.
The park’s mile-long trail around the water features a historic pergola, dating back to 1938, along with several display gardens.
The Wapato dog park is a fully-fenced area where dogs can run around leash-free. When it comes time for a break there are plenty of benches around the park.
Tacoma is home to several fun attractions, including Wild Waves Theme and Waterpark, Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, Museum of Glass, The Children’s Museum of Tacoma, and the Tacoma Art Museum.
The lake is less than 100 miles from Mt Rainier National Park and Olympic National Park.
Lake Wapato’s proximity to Tacoma, Seattle, and two national parks makes it an excellent location for a full-time home or vacation rental.
