About Lake City

Lake City is a sprawling North Seattle district running along Lake City Way (Highway 522) from the city's eastern edge toward Shoreline. The commercial core has its own restaurants, library, and community center, while surrounding streets are quietly residential.

Housing is largely mid-century single-family on generous lots, with growing townhome and small-condo development along the arterials. Buyers come for some of the most accessible pricing in Seattle while staying inside the city.
