Elk Plain, WA - A Tiny Town 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) I felt like I had to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and when I found Elk Plain I felt right at home. If you are looking for a quiet town, with small, well-knit communities, then Elk Plain might just be right for you too. Although many of the surrounding areas ha ...Read More ve plenty of eateries, bars, and entertainment available, Elk Plain is a suburban area that doesn't have a whole lot going on. In my case, this was a great incentive to move here, and living in Elk Plain has been quite the experience as most days are quiet and relaxing. Expect lots of trees, lots of rain, and of course many beautiful creatures to share this quiet environment with.

The best areas in Elk Plain to relax are in many of the neighborhood parks, where you will often see folks taking a stroll, or doing light exercise. On days when it is not raining, I will often take long walks at my local park, and it feels like I am right at home! Come check out Elk Plain, you'll love it. Read Less
