THE VIBE
Residential, calm, and more wooded. Saint Edward State Park is here providing trails, a hotel/restaurant, and waterfront access. O.O. Denny Park is a waterfront park many enjoy during the summer for picnicking or swimming in Lake Washington. Further away from freeway access but private and less busy. Not a lot of shopping nearby. Some properties can have Mt. Rainier views if facing south.
