About this map

Lake Washington defines the western edge of this 2011 survey, where the dense suburban development of King County meets the shorelines of Bellevue, Renton, and Newcastle. The landscape is a complex network of residential neighborhoods like Somerset and Newport Hills, separated by steep ravines and creeks such as Honey Dew Creek and Richards Creek. This era of the region is characterized by significant infrastructure, notably the Factoria Interchange and Eastgate Interchange, which anchor the commercial hubs of Factoria and Eastgate.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the transition from early landings, such as Burrows Landing and Franklin Landing, to modern civic landmarks like City University and the Bellevue Botanical Garden. Significant open spaces and public works, including the Sunset Hills Memorial Park and the specialized Will Rogers Wiley Post Meml Seaplane Base at the southern tip, reflect the high-density growth and specialized transport needs of the early 21st-century Puget Sound region.
