Join the Opening List →Fife does not look like a typical Tacoma suburb. It is a compact city built around warehouses and freeways, and yet about half of its homes are from this century. That combination gives its households a particular set of needs.
Fife incorporated in 1957 on farmland settled by Swiss, Scandinavian and Japanese families. It covers about 5.7 square miles and sits just south of the Port of Tacoma. The city describes itself as a warehouse, distribution and transportation district with easy access to the Port and I-5.
For residents, that means trucks and traffic are close by. Fine road dust settles on window tracks and sills in any home near busy routes, so it is worth including those spots in regular upkeep. Fife Heights and Milton will be covered from here as well.
About 51 percent of Fife's housing units were built in 2000 or later, and about 54 percent of occupied homes are rented. That makes it one of the newer and more rental heavy communities around Tacoma. A newer home usually needs less correction, so most of the work is keeping up with floors, baths and kitchens on a bi-weekly or monthly Recurring House Clean.
For renters, the end of a lease matters more. A One-Time Moving Clean adds the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets to the deep scope, including wet-wiped blinds and hand washed baseboards. Washington law gives a landlord 30 days after a tenant moves out to return the deposit or give a full and specific statement of why any is kept, and it bars keeping a deposit for wear from ordinary use. See the move-out guide for a checklist.
The City of Fife buys all of its water from Tacoma Water, after taking its six old wells out of service. So Fife homes see the same issues as Tacoma's. Tacoma Water says its water is softer than hard water, so you need less soap, and pink stains in damp spots usually come from an airborne bacteria and not from the drinking water. Keeping surfaces dry helps.
Winters are wet, with about 6 inches of rain a month from November through January at the Tacoma station. Summers are dry, with dust instead of mud. A mat at each door handles both. Ecology's advice on soil, with shoes off at the door and weekly floor care, makes sense here too, since Fife sits just outside Tacoma. The seasonal calendar sets all this out.
