Mercer Island is located on Lake Washington, about halfway between Seattle and Bellevue, and is considered one of Seattle’s most affluent suburbs. The Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge and the Homer M. Hadley Memorial Bridge span Lake Washington and connect the island with Seattle. The city of the same name is a fast-growing commercial center of the island, the place where islanders go shopping, eat in gourmet restaurants, or visit a gym. The island is known for its affluent population with large luxurious homes and mansions, but also for its beautiful parks, which offer spectacular views. There are more than 475 acres of parks, three public beaches, and over 50 miles of hiking trails.
