Sammamish

Located on an arboreal plateau between Lake Sammamish and the Snoqualmie Valley, Sammamish is suburbia at its best. For a long time, Sammamish served as a summer resort destination for the area, with families vacationing in cabins and kids attending camp, enjoying life on the lakes and in the woods. Eventually, people who worked in Bellevue and Redmond discovered the peaceful quiet of Sammamish and transformed the town into a year-round residential community. Deeply integrated with nature, Sammamish has many outstanding parks to play in. Some favorites with locals include Big Rock Park, with a giant treehouse and a little kid-sized zipline at the playground; Duthie Hill Park, nationally recognized for its mountain bike trails; and Sammamish Landing and Pine Lake Park, which both have lake access for swimming. In the winter, it’s less than an hour’s drive to the Summit at Snoqualmie for skiing and snowboarding.

Living in Greater Seattle

The splendid natural geography of the Seattle suburbs, which are surrounded by lakes, mountains, and fog-covered evergreens, defines the scenic string of towns that form Greater Seattle. The cities across Lake Washington are collectively known as the Eastside and mainly located in King County, while the North Country encompasses the towns in Snohomish County. There’s a deep concentration of tech companies in the region and many of these cities serve as economic hubs in their own right, including Microsoft’s headquarters in Redmond, outposts of Amazon and Facebook in Bellevue, and a new Google campus in Kirkland. Each town has a distinct personality and there’s a perfect Seattle suburb for almost everyone, whether you prefer an apartment in an urban core, a lakefront estate, or a rural farmhouse. Locals love to embrace the outdoors, with plentiful hiking, biking, swimming, and boating opportunities wherever you go.
