Mercer Island, Washington
Mercer Island offers the seclusion, privacy and beauty of island living, with immediate access to both Seattle and the Eastside. Five miles long and two miles wide, Mercer Island is located in the middle of Lake Washington, connected to either shore by Interstate 90.
The island features the best school district in the Washington state—often the reason people move here. The community and the short commute to Microsoft and other nearby businesses are also a big draw.
The island has much to offer in terms of recreational activity with its 300-plus acres of parklands and open space. The island features quiet, wooded neighborhoods with views of Seattle, Bellevue, Mount Rainier, the Cascade and Olympic Mountains. Island parks feature ball fields, extensive bike trails and picnic areas. In addition, there are more than 50 miles of marked walking trails.
