20 Things to Add to Your Fall Bucket List Today
Fall in the Pacific Northwest is the best time to appreciate all the beauty the area affords. With the changing leaves, delicious produce, and temperate weather, Washington is a fall paradise. Tehaleh is a great place to kickstart your fall festivities!
There is so much to love about Tehaleh! Caffé D’arte located at The Post is a great spot to grab a hot beverage and sit around the firepit. Kids love to play at many of the parks and open spaces here in Tehaleh and are fast to make friends with their neighbors. Older adults enjoy having a delicious meal prepared by the chefs at the Mantel restaurant (Trilogy at Tehaleh’s exclusive dining establishment). But Tehaleh’s close proximity to some of the area’s most popular farms and attractions, makes it a cherished spot for many of the residents who call Tehaleh home.
- Grab a fall-inspired drink (Like a Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Coffee) at Caffé D’arte (located at The Post, our Visitor HQ).

Of course, because of the pandemic and social distancing restrictions, fall may look a little different this year. Please call ahead to your favorite farms to ensure they will be able to accommodate your family. Consider arranging a “treat hunt” in your home for your children instead of conventional trick or treating.
If you are looking for a spot to call your own, Tehaleh has a home for you and your family!
