Living in Kenmore

Lakeside city with floatplanes and a built-from-scratch downtown.

Kenmore sits at the north tip of Lake Washington where the Sammamish River meets the lake, a smaller waterfront city known for floatplanes, Saint Edward State Park, and a deliberately built downtown core. It's a quieter, lower-cost Eastside entry point.
