Neighborhood

LAKE FOREST PARK

Lake Forest Park is located at the northern tip of Lake Washington and neighbors the cities of Seattle, Shoreline, Mountlake Terrace, Brier and Kenmore. The community of Lake Forest Park began in 1912 as one of the Seattle area’s first planned communities. Envisioned as a picturesque retreat for professionals, the developers planned roads and lots in a way that preserved the natural beauty of the area. Homeowners today benefit from that original plan and enjoy a quiet community nestled amongst lush green trees, streams, springs and the Lake Washington shoreline. Walkers, runners and bikers enjoy the Burke-Gilman trail which runs parallel to the lake shore north to Kenmore and south to Seattle. The commercial core of the city is the Town Center at Lake Forest Park which spans 18 acres and offers shopping, dining, entertainment, a public library and the Third Place Commons community center. It is also home to the Lake Forest Park farmers market which runs on Sundays from May through October. This community has continued to grow and thrive while preserving the original vision of an ideal location for commuters looking for a home and community surrounded by nature’s beauty.
