Orting, WA Real Estate

Orting is a city located in Pierce County, Washington. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 3,760.

Orting is a small city located approximately 30 miles from Mount Rainier. The first recorded claims for the land in Orting was made in the early 1850's, however, the city was officially incorporated in 1889. The town sits in a fertile valley between two major rivers, the Carbon and Puyallup Rivers, and it is built entirely on several layers of lahar deposits. Based on past lahar flow and the structure of Mount Rainier, Orting has been designated the most at-risk town in the event of lahar activity from the mountain. Scientists predict that lahars could reach Orting in as little as 30 minutes from origin. Authorities have installed a system of lahar sirens throughout the area, activated by sensors on Mt. Rainier. The local schools regularly stage lahar evacuation drills, and residents have been informed as to lahar escape routes [ (1) ]. The Orting area is currently experiencing rapid growth due to suburban sprawl, putting increasing numbers of people at risk, and raising the spectre of gridlock should an evacuation be required.
