Local
Area Information - Mercer Island
Mercer
Island is situated on Lake Washington, close to both downtown
Seattle and Bellevue, two major business hubs. Since the
floating bridge was built in the early 1940s on what has
now become Interstate 90, Mercer Island is an easy commute
to these nearby business districts.
Besides
the commute, the excellent schools are listed one of the
primary reasons that people choose to live on Mercer Island.
Students here frequently rank among the top in the state,
and around 90% of graduating high school students attend
post-secondary education.
Because
of these characteristics, and the fact that Mercer Island
is only about three-and-a-half miles wide and five miles
long, property here is highly desirable--houses are valued
at between a couple hundred thousand to multi-million. The
style is primarily contemporary and custom-built Pacific
Northwest, with open spaces and large windows to catch the
beautiful views of Lake Washington, the Olympic Mountains
to the west, the Cascade Mountains to the east, and Mount
Rainier to the south.
