About this map

Lake Washington dominates the western half of this 2020 landscape, surrounding the central landmass of Mercer Island and creating a complex shoreline of inlets like Meydenbauer Bay and points such as Groat Point. The transition from residential neighborhoods to more densely developed urban centers is evident in Bellevue, where Wilburton and Midlakes show the intricate street networks of the modern era. The presence of Bellevue College and the City University of Seattle highlights the area's role as a regional educational hub.

Along the eastern shore of the lake, the Mercer Slough provides a significant wetland break between the developed uplands of Norwood Village and the lakefront. To the south, the terrain rises toward the Newcastle Hills, where the city of Newcastle overlooks the industrial and residential corridors of Renton. Significant infrastructure, including the intersection of I-90 and I-405, underscores the transportation-driven geography of these interconnected communities.
