A TOWN BETWEEN TWO CITIES
A home town, that is. With five-minute access to all world-class Seattle and Bellevue have to offer, Mercer Island offers welcome sanctuary in a unique self-sufficient enclave. Its location provides the convenience and opportunity of urban living; proximity to the arts, theater, shopping, hospital, and universities. Its size and isolation provide the small-town feel of community and involvement.
With an idyllic spot in the middle of Lake Washington, Mercer Island is surrounded by the beauty of our region. Shimmering city skylines compete for attention with their own reflections in the tranquil blue of the lake. Cradled by mountains and water, majestic Mount Rainier, the distant but impressive Mount Baker, the Olympic Mountains to the west and the Cascades to the east, it's only right that the Island is home to 27 picturesque public parks. Add to that the numerous bike paths, hiking trails and athletic fields, and you have an urban paradise like no other.
Award-winning in all areas of academics, sports and the arts, the Island's school district has long been heralded as one of, if not the best in all of Washington. It's no wonder Mercer Island's 22,000 residents are so proud of their community. And as if they needed an excuse, there are numerous activities and events for bringing together neighbors, friends and family; annual Mercer Island Days, Mostly Music in the Park, Seafair, Homecoming and festive winter lights with annual lighting of the Christmas Tree.
Not to be left out of area growth, Mercer Island is enjoying its own renaissance. Fast becoming a "walking downtown", popular gathering places, old and new, include the trendy Bennett's Restaurant, Wine Cellar 46, Thai on Mercer and the historic Roanoke Inn to name only a few. Boutiques, spa services, chocolatiers and ice creameries co-exist to provide all the "necessities" of life.
It's an exciting time to be a part of the home town of Mercer Island. Directly adjacent to the town center and the quality of life it brings, Town Pointe will allow you do just that.
