One of the unique neighboring city to the city of Seattle is the Mercer island.
The city is located in the middle of the Lake of Washington. The island has a very quiet and secluded feel. One can easily commune from the quick express lane to downtown Seattle or the Eastside via the Interstate 90. There are several open spaces in this neighboring city and also a number of parks can be found in this city. You can also find different recreational facilities which also form the part of this city.

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.
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.
