WHY I CALL MERCER ISLAND HOME

I grew up on Mercer Island, a place that holds a special place in my heart, until I moved away for college. After over two decades in Seattle, I found my way back to the island with my own family. The allure of Mercer Island’s close-knit community, exceptional schools, and easy access to nature through its abundant parks, trails, and Lake Washington access, has made it an oasis for us. The island’s unique blend of nature and suburban comfort feels like a true haven, and I’m grateful to once again call Mercer Island home.
