Relocation assistance is available for this opportunity in the Pacific Northwest. Enumclaw is 45 minutes away from downhill or cross country skiing yet we seldom get snow where we are located. In the summer you are only minutes away from hiking in the mountains, sailing or power boating in Puget Sound, or 2 hours from the salt air of the Pacific Ocean or the desert air of Eastern Washington. This is truly a great place to live.
