Lake Forest Park is a leafy, lakeside community on the north shore of Lake Washington, prized for its tall evergreens, friendly blocks, and easy access to urban amenities. Within King County and a quick hop to Seattle, it offers a rare blend of quiet streets and big-city convenience.
Outdoorsy residents breeze onto the Burke-Gilman Trail, or wander creekside paths in Grace Cole Nature Park and Animal Acres Park. Daily errands and community life orbit the Town Center at Lake Forest Park, where Third Place Commons powers a year-round calendar of live music, markets, and all-ages events. From summer farmers markets to cozy, rain-or-shine gatherings, there’s always a reason to linger.
Families appreciate strong academics through Shoreline Public Schools, including neighborhood options like Lake Forest Park Elementary, Brookside Elementary, Kellogg Middle School, and Shorecrest High School. The city’s commitment to tree canopy, shoreline protection, and practical services is easy to track through the City of Lake Forest Park website, which also highlights recreation programs and local permits.
Housing ranges from mid-century classics tucked into wooded cul-de-sacs to contemporary lake-view homes, with commute-friendly routes to tech, health, and aerospace employers.
