About Mercer Island

A SMALL-TOWN ATMOSPHERE + TRANQUILITY + THE PERFECT COMMUTE

Secluded yet highly accessible, Mercer Islanders enjoy 10 square miles of beauty with beaches, parks, and green space. Affectionately known as “The Rock”, Mercer Island was named the Best Place to Live in Washington in 2018 by Money magazine.

The Mercer Island School District is a huge draw for families moving to the Puget Sound -- the Island’s elementary schools regularly win Washington Achievement Awards, and the PTA community is active and engaged. An active community stitches together common values and interests through a myriad of other organizations and opportunities as well, ranging from the Mercer Island Women’s Club to the Stroum Jewish Community Center to the Mercer Island Beach Club.

Mercer Island’s town center is walkable and energetic, with yoga classes, cute shops and restaurants, and hosting farmer’s markets until late fall. Pop into Santo Cafe for avocado toast and a charcoal lemonade or try one of the best cups of coffee on the Island at L'Experience Paris, the town makes it easy to spend an afternoon milling around.

With miles of wooded trails, beautiful quiet beach fronts, amazing views, and a small-town vibe, residents get to have their cake and eat it too with an easy commute almost anywhere: 26 minutes to Seatac Airport, 16 minutes to Amazon, 24 minutes to Microsoft, 15 minutes to Bellevue’s Lincoln Square shopping...Mercer Island is a rock within reach!

Boasting the area’s top-rated public schools, exceptionally low crime rates, and engaged citizens, Mercer Island and its understated affluence is truly the floating jewel of the greater Seattle area.
