Newer Homes on the Plateau
Bonney Lake is up on the plateau, above the White River valley and beside Lake Tapps, so river flooding isn't the worry. Most of the town is newer housing, and newer houses leak in predictable places: a bathroom or laundry room upstairs, a water heater in the garage, a fridge line behind the kitchen wall. On sloped lots, lower levels dug into the hillside take on groundwater after long rain. Bonney Lake once competed with Auburn to annex the Lakeland Hills area, and the two sit next to each other on the high ground.
Bonney Lake Water Notes
- The ground: plateau above the White River valley, next to Lake Tapps
- The houses: mostly newer subdivisions; some split-levels and homes on sloped lots
- The water risk: upstairs bathroom and laundry leaks; daylight basements on slopes; heavy rain at the roofline
Bonney Lake and Auburn
Bonney Lake borders Lakeland Hills and the Pierce County side of Auburn. Both are covered by the companies that take Auburn jobs.
