West Des Moines is a prosperous western suburb of Des Moines, home to major insurance and financial services headquarters and a well-developed event venue infrastructure serving the western suburbs of the metro. May through October; West Des Moines shares the Greater Des Moines continental climate — reliable late summer, with September and October delivering the clearest and most consistent outdoor weather.
