The Mercer Island School District serves the whole island, with four elementary schools, Islander Middle School and Mercer Island High School.

Getting around

I-90 crosses the island, with floating bridges west to Seattle and the East Channel Bridge to Bellevue. Mercer Island's light rail station opened on March 28, 2026, putting the island on Sound Transit's 2 Line between Seattle and the Eastside.

A little history

The island was named for Seattle's Mercer family by 1860. A bridge to the Eastside opened in 1923, and the Lacey V. Murrow floating bridge to Seattle followed in 1940. The City of Mercer Island incorporated in 1960 and merged with the separately incorporated Town of Mercer Island business district in 1970. Today about 25,900 people live on the island (Washington OFM, April 1, 2026 estimate).

Just one house up from Lake Washington, located on a private lane shared with two waterfront homes, this beautifully updated residence enjoys sweeping lake and Mount Rainier views. Part mid-century modern, part classic lake house, it offers the best of both. Vaulted ceilings & a continuous band of clerestory windows bring in western light, while expansive windows capture the Lake and Mt. Rainier views, filling the home with natural light from sunrise to sunset. What a floor plan! The family room, kitchen, living, dining rooms and primary suite all face the lake. Two additional bedrooms are also on the main floor. At the heart of the home is a beautifully remodeled kitchen with a generous center island with slab quartz. The Sub-Zero, Miele and a six-burner Wolf cooktop are the "dream team" of the kitchen. Heading to the lower level, a spacious bonus room, office alcove, two large bedrooms, one en suite, and a laundry room that was designed as a craft room are perfect for busy households. Wraparound decks capture those big lake and mountain views, while mature landscaping provides privacy and a yard with room to play. The lucky new owner will appreciate thoughtfully updated features such as double-paned vinyl windows throughout, a 40-year metal roof, refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, new carpet, new hot water heaters and A/C. Just minutes to Clarke Beach, Mercer Island Beach Club and South End shopping. Big views, beautiful light and a wonderfully private setting.

Welcome to the lake life! This custom-built NW Contemporary offers 90 feet of low-bank waterfront with an oversized dock and deep-water moorage, everything you need for the perfect day on the lake. The 900+-square-foot dock comes complete with a 10,000-pound boat lift and two covered jet ski lifts. When you're not out on the water, soak in the view from the expansive deck. Oversized windows flood the living room with natural light, and the adjacent office or den means even work-from-home days come with a lake view. The renovated kitchen features granite countertops and top-of-the-line appliances, and flows seamlessly to the deck for outdoor entertaining. The luxurious primary suite occupies the entire top floor. Curl up in the window seat or step through the French doors to take in the water, then relax in the spa-like primary bathroom, complete with a walk-in closet and washer/dryer. The real fun happens downstairs. The walk-out lower level leads to the hot tub, grassy terraces, and steps to the shoreline. A large rec room, full second kitchen, and two spacious bedrooms with adjacent bathrooms mean guests (or you) may never want to leave. The basement laundry room means wet towels don't have to travel far for washing, and there's plenty of space for water toy storage both inside and outside the house. Additional updates include two newer AC units and a whole-house air purification system.
