Eastlake was named because of its position on the east shore of Lake Union. Within the neighborhood, there’s a heavy mix of residential buildings, small businesses, and floating houses! Eastlake is home to an incredible concentration of houseboats, made famous by the 1993 hit movie Sleepless in Seattle.
Students and staff of the University of Washington enjoy short commutes to campus. The Seattle International Film Festival is a sought-after city event, and it holds the highest attendance record for any film festival in the United States.
Locals enjoy how walkable everything is from each other in Eastlake. Interstate 5 allows for easy travel – and the community is encompassed by mini parks such as Lynn Street Mini Park.
