Meet Dayna 

Dayna Bedney is one of the friendly Lennar team members you will meet when you tour the builder’s gorgeous 11 model homes located in Ten Trails! Dayna recently relocated to the Seattle area from Arizona, where she worked for another master-planned community. Prior to that, Dayna worked in city planning, project management and real estate in the Phoenix area.

“Everything’s Included” with Lennar 

Dayna has had the opportunity to work with different home builders, both on the builder side, and from the city planning perspective, and she is quick to point out what makes Lennar stand out among other home builders. “Our business model of ‘everything’s included’ is the unique component that makes our homes appealing to home buyers,” says Dayna. “It’s a simple concept that’s easy for the customers to understand and offers a lot of value.”

A Relatable Approach

Dayna enjoys working with potential home buyers to help them figure out the best floorplan to suit their family’s needs. “Buying a home is a huge decision and I want people to be happy with the experience,” says Dayna. “I love getting to know our clients and relating to them on a personal level so I’m better able to help assist them in finding their perfect home.” Stop by the Grand Model Showplex by Lennar and say hello to Dayna the next time you’re in the community! 360.469.4043 www.TenTrails.com  

Nearby Places to Walk Your Dog

When complete, the community will have about 14 miles of trails for residents to enjoy, with ten distinct type of trails within the community. In addition to the miles of trails and walkways in Ten Trails, there are also a number of nearby parks and trails that are ideal for walking the family dog!

Soos Creek Trail

Soos Creek Trail is located in nearby Kent and offers 12 miles of paved walkways through woodlands and wetlands for you and your dog to explore. Soos Creek Trail is part of the King County Trail System and connects to the Lake Youngs Trail. Because it is multi-use, don’t be surprised if you also see bikers and even riders on horseback while out on your dog walk.

Cedar River Trail

The Cedar River Trail begins in downtown Renton and follows an old railroad corridor which runs alongside the Cedar River. The nearly-16-mile trail culminates close to Ten Trails in Maple Valley. Portions of the trail are paved, and some is packed gravel, and it offers beautiful views of the river and seasonal salmon migrations. The trail connects to the 3.5-mile Green to Cedar Rivers Trail, also known as Lake Wilderness Trail and is ideal for dog walking.

Lake Wilderness Trail/Future Green to Cedar Rivers Trail

An extension of the Cedar River Trail, the Green to Cedar Rivers/Lake Wilderness Trail is a 3.5-mile gravel pathway that leads to Maple Valley’s Wilderness Lake and the Lake Wilderness Arboretum.  This trail ends at a railroad crossing, but reappears a few blocks later at the trails for Black Diamond Open Space. King County has plans on their website to extend this trail with a northern and southern segment, the latter of which will run adjacent to the Ten Trails property.

Lake Youngs Trail

Lake Youngs Trail is about 10 miles long and is located in Renton at Petrovitsky Park. The trail offers gently rolling hills for you and your dog to get some exercise, and follows along a reservoir. For this trail and for all trails located in King County, dog-walkers must keep their pets on a leash. www.TenTrails.com 360.469.4043
