Residents living on Mercer Island consider the neighborhood absolute paradise – and they’re 100% correct! Downtown Mercer Island’s cityscape is ever-evolving with the addition of new markets, restaurants, and shops at Town Center.
Island restaurants locals can’t get enough of include Freshy’s Seafood Shack and Pagliacci Pizza. Healthy and organic grocery stores are popping up all over the community, next to established bookstores, coffee shops, and chocolatiers.
In the summer months, residents gather at the Mercer Island Farmers Market for fresh seasonal flowers and baked goods. The island beaches sure are fun, but they pack quickly on weekends.
When it comes to work commutes into Bellevue or Seattle, residents are comforted by direct access to Interstate 90 and the park-and-ride bus station.
