Pacific Ridge is a long, narrow neighborhood between Interstate 5 and Pacific Highway. The community is mainly suburban in nature, with modest homes, apartment buildings, and evergreen foliage filling the landscape. The neighborhood slopes uphill as you get go east, allowing folks in some places to get clear views of Puget Sound from as far inland as I-5.

Several public parks such as Grandview Dog Park, Riverfront Park, and Saltwater State Park are easily reachable within minutes, giving folks many options for outdoor recreation. With Highline College just a few blocks to the southwest, Pacific Ridge is an excellent location for students, faculty, and staff.
