Traditions at Federal Way

I have moved into Traditions at Federal Way. It's great. The people here are friendly. There's a lot of great amenities here. I definitely made quite a few friends very quickly. The office staff, the people that manage the apartments, the maintenance people, the cleaning people, and everything, they're all just really, really awesome people, and always willing to help with anything. There's a very lovely gym in the building, there's a movie theater, and there's a craft room where there are other residents that are willing to teach classes. There is a group down there right now, and there is a lady who is teaching them all how to crochet. There's bingo, there's little garden plots, and there's like a room with tables and a full kitchen that you can use if you have larger groups. There's also a family area that you can actually rent. For instance, if I had like a party of some kind where I had lots of family here, you can use that. There's a dog park, I don't have any animals, but it's pet friendly. My apartment is very, very nice. The kitchen is very roomy. I have a one-bedroom. I have a pretty good size room. The one thing that I was really impressed with was the kitchen because I cook. I've got a full-sized washer and dryer, and I've got ceiling fans in all the rooms. They kind of leave it up to the residents to send them ideas that they want for activities. Being that it's a fairly new place, that's kind of still in the works. They have monthly meetings with the management and the residents, which is nice. There's a gal that I just talked to that's trying to get together a little karaoke group.

My daughter's mother-in-law has just moved down in Traditions at Federal Way. It's a nice place and inexpensive. Two-bedroom for $1550, and I'm paying $1450 in my little apartment. They have all nice amenities. They have a movie theater, a game room, a library, a little snack area, a family area. That's nice. If you want to recommend it to other people, that's an ideal place to live. My daughter's mother-in-law is living there now. She just moved in last week. It's a nice place. People are nice, and the staff are nice. They have a washer and dryer in the unit. The units aren't too bad. For the price you pay, it's not bad because you get all the amenities, and they pay for everything except your light and your phone. I'm trying to talk to my husband to move to Federal Way; he just doesn't like it there. I didn't see a dining room; it's all individual apartments. It has a little snack bar for like pop and junk food and stuff like that. I don't think they have a dining room there; I think it's just independent living. The individual apartments are fantastic. The kitchen has a big wraparound bar. It's a brand new building, so it's all new appliances. There's plenty of space. It's all open concept. Right next to the kitchen is a little area where you can have a dinette table. Then you have the living room right next to it, which is big enough to have a couch and a love seat or a love seat and a recliner. Then you have the washer and dryer next to that, so it's not bad. The staff I met were very informative, very nice, and very polite. They answer your questions. They have a parking garage, which is available if they want it. It's secure because you have to have a pass card to get it, and you can't get him one, so it's very secure.

I love Traditions at Federal Way. It's brand new. It's clean. It's secure, and it would have been wonderful. The staff that accommodated me was very helpful, personable, and very welcoming. The room was new and clean, and it was just what I need. They had a fitness room, a card room, a board game room, and a library that was fully stocked. They had like a barbecue area outside. They had a theater, too. They've only been open for a year now, but it looked like they were taking care of everything.

I love the Traditions at Federal Way, but it's too far away. Federal Way is a long way from where I need to be. But that is a wonderful apartment complex; it's nice. It was great. It was new. I think it has only been there a year or two, so it's new. It's more of in the city, it's not residential, but the location is still fine. It's a good location. The distance was my issue. I think if I live anywhere close to Federal Way, that would be my choice because I liked it. I enjoyed working with the staff. They were very professional and very helpful. It was a great tour. They have everything; I don't think they've missed anything. They have a workout room, movie room, game room, kitchen and eating area, common eating area, and library. I don't think they've missed anything. I like it. If I work somewhere close to it, that would be the one, but I don't.
