Federal Way Center Car Rental

Federal Way Center is located along I-5 halfway between Seattle (approximately 35 km north) and Tacoma (approximately 20 km south), making it a strategic base for exploring the southern Puget Sound region. Four rental companies operate in the area around S 320th Street. Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden at the Weyerhaeuser campus and Wild Waves Theme Park are local attractions.

Dash Point State Park with waterfront views of Puget Sound is just 8 km west and offers hiking and camping. Federal Way is an excellent base for day trips - the Tacoma Museum of Glass is reached in 25 minutes south and Seattle's Pike Place Market in 35-45 minutes north. Use SR-18 east to reach Auburn and Enumclaw without passing through Seattle's traffic congestion.

Compare prices between the four rental companies as competition keeps prices relatively low compared to the airports. How long does it take to drive from Federal Way to Mount Rainier? Take SR-161 south toward Eatonville and then SR-706 to the Nisqually entrance - approximately 90 km and about 1.5 hours.
