 Northwest Landing
Dupong, Washington

This community blends residential, office, commercial, and industrial spaces.  The residential areas are located within walking or biking distance of industrial and office buildings.  In addition, commuter bus services help reduce the automobile usage.  The streets of the community are designed to promote walking.  The housing features a northwest cottage style and lend to a charming mood for the area.  As more small retailers begin to move to the area, a downtown area will be developed.
