You don't want to live here!! There are homeless people breaking into the building, residents that are letting them in. There's also a woman that lives and works here that has 2 attack dogs. I know of 2 dogs that have been bitten by her dogs. Management does nothing about these problems. There have even been cars stolen out of the garage. It's not safe here!!

I've lived at Traditions for almost 2 years. One of the reasons that I chose Traditions was the security. I love it here but it is getting more and more dangerous to live here. There is a resident that is letting homeless people and prostitutes into our building. Just today, there was a homeless man bathing in the dog bath area in one of our garages. Management is aware yet this resident is still here! They have him on camera letting people in or leaving a door open so they can come in. Yet, he is still here!!!

We had made an appointment with Traditions at Federal Way, but we didn't actually get to see the rooms there. We were able to walk around the general area. I think the issue was they didn't have any available rooms to show us, so that was a little disappointing. I was very impressed with the building. It was brand new and just really nice. I thought they had lovely amenities and common areas. The staff who toured us was not quite helpful. I felt like she wasn't terribly welcoming. The maintenance and upkeep were very nice. She didn't really show us anything. We kind of just walked around. There were just really nice sitting areas.

I have moved into Traditions at Federal Way. It's great. The people here are friendly. There's a lot of great amenities here. I definitely made quite a few friends very quickly. The office staff, the people that manage the apartments, the maintenance people, the cleaning people, and everything, they're all just really, really awesome people, and always willing to help with anything. There's a very lovely gym in the building, there's a movie theater, and there's a craft room where there are other residents that are willing to teach classes. There is a group down there right now, and there is a lady who is teaching them all how to crochet. There's bingo, there's little garden plots, and there's like a room with tables and a full kitchen that you can use if you have larger groups. There's also a family area that you can actually rent. For instance, if I had like a party of some kind where I had lots of family here, you can use that. There's a dog park, I don't have any animals, but it's pet friendly. My apartment is very, very nice. The kitchen is very roomy. I have a one-bedroom. I have a pretty good size room. The one thing that I was really impressed with was the kitchen because I cook. I've got a full-sized washer and dryer, and I've got ceiling fans in all the rooms. They kind of leave it up to the residents to send them ideas that they want for activities. Being that it's a fairly new place, that's kind of still in the works. They have monthly meetings with the management and the residents, which is nice. There's a gal that I just talked to that's trying to get together a little karaoke group.

My daughter's mother-in-law has just moved down in Traditions at Federal Way. It's a nice place and inexpensive. Two-bedroom for $1550, and I'm paying $1450 in my little apartment. They have all nice amenities. They have a movie theater, a game room, a library, a little snack area, a family area. That's nice. If you want to recommend it to other people, that's an ideal place to live. My daughter's mother-in-law is living there now. She just moved in last week. It's a nice place. People are nice, and the staff are nice. They have a washer and dryer in the unit. The units aren't too bad. For the price you pay, it's not bad because you get all the amenities, and they pay for everything except your light and your phone. I'm trying to talk to my husband to move to Federal Way; he just doesn't like it there. I didn't see a dining room; it's all individual apartments. It has a little snack bar for like pop and junk food and stuff like that. I don't think they have a dining room there; I think it's just independent living. The individual apartments are fantastic. The kitchen has a big wraparound bar. It's a brand new building, so it's all new appliances. There's plenty of space. It's all open concept. Right next to the kitchen is a little area where you can have a dinette table. Then you have the living room right next to it, which is big enough to have a couch and a love seat or a love seat and a recliner. Then you have the washer and dryer next to that, so it's not bad. The staff I met were very informative, very nice, and very polite. They answer your questions. They have a parking garage, which is available if they want it. It's secure because you have to have a pass card to get it, and you can't get him one, so it's very secure.
