MERCER ISLAND, WASHINGTON
Mercer Island is a city in King County, Washington, located on an island in Lake Washington.
Mercer Island has one of the 100 richest ZIP codes in the USA according to the IRS. Mercer Island is Washington state’s most expensive housing market. Mercer Island is an excellent place to live with access to two large cities on either side. The cost of living is high, but the quality of living is high as well and this is why many people live on Mercer Island and commute into Seattle or Bellevue.
Mercer Island is bisected by Interstate 90, which connects the city to Seattle and Bellevue. The bridges also carry the Mountains to Sound Greenway, which includes a multi-purpose pedestrian and bicycle path. A significant section of the freeway is recessed below street level and covered by the Mercer Island Lid, which includes several parks.
The Mercer Island Farmers Market operates most Sundays between June and October. The market contains local produce including fruit, vegetables, and some crafts. Luther Burbank Park covers 77 acres of land and has 0.75 miles of waterfront. The park has a public boat dock and fishing pier, a swimming beach, an amphitheater, tennis courts, barbecues and picnic facilities, and an off-leash dog area.
