Seattle has been listed as one of the healthiest cities in the nation, due to the countless trails, effective bike routes, and other recreational activities it offers. |
Lake Forest Park - When people think of LFP, they think of trees. Named a Tree City USA community for its 4th year, LFP has truly lived up to its reputation. Less than 4% of LFP is zoned commercial, and those areas are clustered in one spot. Its popularity is facilitated by the fact that the school district is Shoreline. There are many lakefront properties that boast gorgeous views of Lake Washington. |
Woodway - Woodway is a small town located north of the Richmond Beach neighborhood in Shoreline, on the north of the King/Snohomish County line border. It is a small, tranquil residential community, maintained from its historical beginnings. Its town logo is “The Quiet Place”, and the town definitely lives up to it. |

Lynnwood -
Lynnwood is a bigger city and has several commercial/business districts. Home to popular Alderwood Mall, residents in Edmonds, Shoreline, LFP, and other surrounding areas often visit Lynnwood.
