About the Community
Federal Way is a vibrant city of approximately 100,000 situated between Seattle and Tacoma along the Puget Sound, offering physicians the amenities of a major metropolitan region with a more accessible pace of life. The area is defined by stunning Pacific Northwest scenery — Puget Sound waterways, the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges, and proximity to world-class outdoor recreation including hiking, skiing, kayaking, and cycling. Highly rated public and private schools, a diverse and growing community, and a cost of living more manageable than Seattle proper make Federal Way a compelling destination for physicians relocating to the Pacific Northwest.
