Kenmore is a lakeside community where weeknights can mean a sunset stroll and weekends can launch into adventure. On the north tip of Lake Washington between Bothell and Kirkland, it offers an easy rhythm: neighborhood streets lined with evergreens, local cafes, and quick connections along SR‑522. Cyclists and runners trace the shoreline on the iconic Burke‑Gilman Trail, a car‑free artery that doubles as a scenic commute and a family outing, anchored by waterfront access and playgrounds.
Outdoor lovers gravitate to Saint Edward State Park’s old‑growth forest and miles of trails, with lake overlooks and room to roam. At the water’s edge, Log Boom Park provides a sweeping pier, beachy nooks, and kayak launches, while seaplanes from Kenmore Air skim the surface and lift toward the San Juans—a daily reminder that adventure is close at hand. When you want a longer ride or run, the Burke‑Gilman Trail ties Kenmore to a wider regional network.
Families value the highly regarded Northshore School District, known for strong academics, innovative programs, and well‑supported arts and athletics. Higher‑ed meets the outdoors at Bastyr University, whose wooded campus hosts wellness studies and community events. Year‑round, residents plug into makers markets, library programs, and festivals that turn the town center into a gathering place.
