After nearly 50 years of summer thrills, Wild Waves Theme & Water Park in Federal Way is set to close for good after the 2026 season. This spot has been a rite of passage for so many local families—think first jobs, epic water slides, and those classic Timber Hawk rides. Rising costs and pandemic losses finally caught up, but the park promises a full final season packed with special events and nostalgia. How do you feel about losing such a big piece of our community’s summer tradition? Will you visit one last time or share your favorite Wild Waves memory? #Travel #WildWaves #FederalWay
