North Bend, Washington

North Bend

North Bend is a city in King County, Washington, United States, on the outskirts of the Seattle metropolitan area. The population was 5,731 at the 2010 census and an estimated 7,136 in 2018. Matts Peterson is credited in 1865 with first settler status, and Jeremiah Borst from Snoqualmie played a very major role as well. Farming was the early mainstay to the valley economy, and settlers found the already cleared, flat prairie landscape much to their liking. Local Indians had tended the land by periodic burning to encourage berries and other edible plants.

North Bend is now a favorite area for mega-estates offering larger acreages and expansive views of 4,167’ Mt. Si and surrounding territory.
