2014 Map of Mercer Island

About this map

Mercer Island Town Center and the various residential neighborhoods of Mercer Island occupy the western half of this 2014 survey, set against the waters of Lake Washington. The eastern shore transitions into the suburban landscape of Bellevue, where the intricate Mercer Slough and preserved green spaces like the Bellevue Botanical Garden break up the dense network of surface streets and interchanges. This period captures the mature development of the Eastside, including the campus of Bellevue Coll and the shoreline communities of Beaux Arts Village and Newport Shores. Historically significant access points such as Franklin Landing, Burrows Landing, and Newcastle Landing hint at the area's earlier dependence on waterborne travel before the expansion of the modern highway system. Further inland, specialized water management is noted at Silt Detention Ponds Number One near Coal Cr, reflecting the suburban integration with the local topography.
