Area Guide

The beauty of the Pacific Northwest surrounds Lake Burien

Lake • Nature • Convenient • Hiking • Suburban •

Hilly and dotted with pine trees, Lake Burien welcomes residents with year-round greenery and a classic Pacific Northwest atmosphere. A mix of apartments and single-family houses covers the neighborhood, and at a quick bike ride away, SW 152nd Street hosts a number of casual businesses. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport sits immediately east of the neighborhood, so you can be out the door and into the parking garage in 10 minutes, or hop on one of the King County buses that cross the neighborhood. For commuters, Downtown Seattle lies 12 miles north.

Lake Burien places residents within easy reach of the rocky Washington coastline. Head a few minutes northwest to Seahurst Park with its beach, hiking trails, and picnic shelters.
