Eastside Cities: Mercer Island

Unique among Seattle's neighboring cities; Mercer Island is located in the middle of Lake Washington. This island locale provides a quiet, secluded feel with a quick express-lane commute to downtown Seattle or the Eastside via Interstate 90. The tradition of excellence in education draws many who choose to live here. The district consistently posts the state's highest test scores, with ninety percent of its high-school graduates college bound.

This community boasts more than 400 acres of parks and open space, and an extensive system of multi-use trails. Other recreational facilities include tennis courts, swimming and picnicking areas, boat launch, a skateboard park, and more. Mercer Island is proud of its public art and maintains the I-90 Outdoor Sculpture Gallery. Residents also enjoy Mostly Music in the Park, an annual summer concert series.

Although primarily a single-family residential community, apartments and condominiums are available and concentrated on the north end of the island, close to a small business district. Residential services are provided at the Mercer Island Town Center, which is currently being redeveloped to include new apartments, condos, and senior housing, as well as business and retail space.

Median Sold Prices 2007: Homes $1,085,750; Condos $392,500
