Maple Valley, Washington
Historically the origin of the community of Maple Valley sprang from the many vacation resorts and recreational opportunities that were present prior to the 1960’s, and the fact that three state highways intersect there. The many resorts that flourished on the lakes in and around what is now the City of Maple Valley drew many tourists to the area for what, at the time, was a reasonable “car trip” from Seattle. The original businesses in the area were launched to provide the goods and services that these visitors and the rural residents of the mostly agricultural community desired. Although the resorts of that era no longer exist, the ample recreational opportunities of the city and surrounding vicinity still provide a draw for the present business community. The city was officially incorporated into King County on August 31, 1997.
