Spanaway is a laid-back, family-friendly suburb with a lakeside vibe—think Spanaway Lake, parks and trails, neighborhood coffee shops and casual dining—so it’s an easy, low-stress place to call home during a multi-week therapy assignment while still feeling like there’s something to do after work.
You’re also a short drive from Tacoma’s museums, restaurants and waterfront and within easy reach of Seattle and outdoor escapes like Mount Rainier, so weekends can be big‑city or mountain outings rather than being stuck in a quiet, isolated spot.
