Seattle Suburbs: What’s in it for me? Builder perks, Parks, horses?

By Courtney Cooper, November 28, 2007 10:54 am

Seattle Suburbs offer more than giant shiny new houses and builder perks galore! 

Easy Transportation in and out of major cities like Seattle, Everett, and Bellevue - don’t forget about the Park and Rides!!! They are everywhere and they are improving on top of that (Look at the Mountlake Terrace system for example!)! The transit system is wonderful in the Puget Sound! We complain about it and are constantly improving it, but the truth is it works very well! Our traffic is bad during peak hours, but grab a book or your iPod and let someone else do the driving for you! Save on gas and take some “me” time!

Large open spaces - Seattle offers some wonderful parks and places to play in city, but look at what the Seattle suburbs have to offer! Besides loads of parks to play in and enjoy, there’s more! Like horses, dogs? Brier, Washington has its own horse arena at City Hall. Woodinville is just one of the communities with horse trails. Check out the dog parks in the various towns and don’t miss the dog oriented events!

Trails and more trails!!! Want to bike, run, walk, or hike in the Seattle Suburbs? Wanna hike? There are tons of neighboring trails and parks. Bike on the Burke Gilman trail through Lake Forest Park or Kenmore and all the way down to Wallingford and beyond if you feel like it. Mill Creek, Brier, and Mountlake Terrace are just a few Seattle suburbs that have interconnecting trails for their residents.

Beaches and Lakes???? Besides heading to the sandy beaches of Edmonds, Washington or the shores of Lake Washington, there are also many smaller lakes including Martha Lake in Lynnwood – or Silverlake in Everett. If you want a water event, just look around!

Shopping! When I lived in city, I had to drive forever to find anything – Luckily, Northgate Mall is being revamped, but try Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood if you want everything from Macy’s and Nordstrom’s to PF Chang’s, William-Sonoma, and J Jill. The shopping is good in the burbs!

If you think you might be interested in Seattle Suburb real estate, make sure and have a FULL SERVICE experienced Realtor help you find the community that is best for you!

Where do you work?  It doesn’t matter!

Brier, Washington is nestled in Snohomish County just north of Seattle in a little elbow between both I-5 and I-405.  It is the very perfect commuter’s paradise with at least three major Transit Park and Rides close by in  Mountlake Terrace, Canyon Park in Bothell, and Lynnwood.  A homeowner in Brier can easily commute to Seattle, Everett, or the Eastside like Bellevue and Kirkland.

Where do you play?  Access is right around the corner!

Brier is at the North end of Lake Washington and there is at least one boat launch nearby in Kenmore.  The Cascades are just North via Highway 2 where you can snow ski or head over to Leavenworth or further east.  Canada is right up I-5 after you pass shopping outlets and casinos on the way.  Want to go to the beach?  It is close! Fishing?  Nearby, too!  Want to head to the Islands?  Head over to nearby Edmonds and jump on a ferry to Kingston and then keep driving…It’s all close by!

Or…stick around town and check out all of Brier’s awesome parks and facilities.  The streets are wide and there is room to play.
