The living area is anchored by a navy blue sectional sofa positioned atop a geometric patterned area rug, complemented by a pair of dark leather accent chairs.

Overhead, a track lighting system runs along the ceiling, providing directed illumination throughout the space. The neutral, light-toned walls and smooth white ceiling enhance the sense of openness and brightness. Warm-toned hardwood flooring extends throughout, adding a natural, cohesive element to the interior. A wall-mounted gallery arrangement of six framed pieces adds visual interest near the living area. A floor lamp and wall sconce provide additional ambient lighting options. The dining area features a white table and chairs near the perimeter. A hallway visible in the background leads to additional rooms, suggesting a practical and well-organized floor plan throughout.

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.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
