Nestled in the rolling woodlands outside Yelm, the Clearwood Community Association stands as a unique example of rural community living done right. Established in the 1970s and surrounded by nearly 900 acres of forest, lakes, trails, and parks, Clearwood offers residents something increasingly rare in today’s fast-paced world: peace, connection, and a genuine sense of neighborhood.
With private lakes, walking trails, playgrounds, beaches, and recreational facilities, the community blends outdoor beauty with family-friendly amenities. Residents enjoy kayaking, fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing right outside their doors. The association’s professionally managed and volunteer-driven structure also encourages civic involvement and community pride, giving homeowners a direct role in shaping the future of their neighborhood.
Clearwood has been investing in its future by revitalizing critical infrastructure such as roads and water system, improving amenities, and strengthening the culture of community throughout the neighborhood. These ongoing efforts reflect a shared commitment to preserving the area’s natural beauty while creating a welcoming environment for current and future residents alike.
In a rapidly growing region, Clearwood remains a reminder that community still matters — truly “Forest Living at it’s finest.”
