Start with life on Mercer Island,
just 3 miles to either Seattle or Bellevue. Mercer
Island is five miles long and 1.5 miles wide. The
crowning Emerald nestled into the middle of Lake
Washington with the finest luxury homes and estates in
the western states. Once you have lived on Mercer
Island, you only move to your next home 'on the
island', not off The lsland. With one of the
highest and most stable home appreciation rates
throughout the western United States, Mercer Island home
ownership is truly a quality investment. Plus, you get
to live here! And for those who must move off the
island; they continue to dream of a time when they can
return, that is, when they can return, will they
be able to afford to purchase that Mercer Island home
again?
Owning Lake Washington Waterfront is everyone's dream
and there are a variety of lifestyles offered from

general area with fabulous State Parks for camping,

can think of is available with just a short road trip.
The Seattle Metropolitan Area is known as "The Emerald
City" and that's
because we are green year around. Beautiful
gardens open to the public and in our own yards where we
have the perfect blend of climates to be host to so many
beautiful and inspiring plants and trees! |
Well, welcome to the San Juan Islands and British
Columbia. Lease a
Yacht and sail the San Juans or just take your 18ft
runabout or cruiser and find your way to State Parks and
bouys to tie up to along the way. The marine life in the
Puget Sound is extraordinary and truly will give you a
new view of our world, peppered with seals, dolphins,
eagles, and visiting often are the great whale pods. So
much to see and so much to enjoy either by Washington
State Ferry, the Victoria Clipper or by boat or car; you
will never forget your visit into the Puget Sound, the
San Juan Islands and The
Butchart Gardens in Victoria, B.C..
