Mount Baker

Classic Seattle charm meets lakeside living in Mount Baker—where historic homes, leafy parks, and community spirit shine.

Perched above Lake Washington, Mount Baker is a neighborhood with roots—and views—that run deep. Grand old homes and craftsman bungalows line quiet streets, while Mount Baker Park and Colman Park offer green spaces for picnics, tennis, and lakeside strolls. It’s the kind of place where neighbors gather for block parties, and kids ride bikes down tree-lined avenues.

Mount Baker’s annual Seafair celebration brings the whole city to its shores, but the neighborhood’s true magic is in its everyday moments—morning walks with mountain views, backyard barbecues, and easy access to both downtown and the lake.
