Mercer Island, WA

Mercer Island is a lovely historic island in Lake Washington that is home to 21,000 people. Historic buildings like the Roanoke Inn, the V.F.W. Hall, and the Luther Burbank Park create a charming atmosphere on the island, and gave it acclaim for its historical significance.

Due to ingenious engineering, the island is accessible from the mainland by bridge-- a more convenient route than by the ferries that used to transport Mercer Island citizens to and from Seattle. The bridge was open for usage in 1940-- twenty years after its proposal, and has continued to boost the economy and population of the island.
