3665 McKinley Ave, Carnation, WA 98014

As pastoral as the sweet green grass fragrance bathing the Snoqualmie Valley, the charm and outdoor vitality of rural Carnation is the serene new setting for Tolt River Terrace. A quiet gateway to Northeast King County luxury living, part of the broad appeal to this 140-homesite community is its fresh blend of offerings: MainVue's highly sought-after single-family homes along with a new mix of its first-ever townhome designs. Not to be outdone by its small-town beauty, Carnation's historic downtown corridor reflects the respect and affection neighbors here have nurtured for more than 100 years. Tolt River Terrace mirrors these same appealing qualities with existing natural features bordering the community and clusters of grassy open spaces preserved within. Its Tolt Avenue setting is directly across Fall City/Carnation Road Northeast from stunning 574-acre Tolt MacDonald Park. Chinook salmon spawn and osprey fly undisturbed overhead here at the confluence of the Tolt and Snoqualmie rivers. Home to an outdoor musical festival and 500-foot suspension bridge linked to miles of mountain biking trails, the park is also a springboard to Snoqualmie Valley Trail. This 27-mile river route spans from Duvall to North Bend while giving bicyclists and hikers picturesque views of local farms and Cascade mountain foothills. Try your hand at fresh fruits, berries and vegetables at nearly a dozen local U-Pick farms - or bicycle about a mile to Remlinger Farms, which pays homage to the region's rich dairy history. Explore the market's down-home flavors of jams, soups and more. Gear up for all-ages entertainment featuring spring and summer amusement rides, a petting zoo, autumn pumpkin patch, train rides and outdoor concerts.
