LEAFY LAURELHURST: A Tucked-Away Gem on the Water’s Edge

 

Tucked between Union Bay to the south and Lake Washington to the east, this established, verdant community, naturally secluded by its peninsular location, attracts households seeking a serene enclave coupled with convenient access to amenities, services, and stellar outdoor recreation.

The venerable Laurelhurst Beach Club, which celebrated its centennial this year, offers members and their guests sailing lessons, youth camps, and seasonal dock access with kayaks and paddleboards.

You can also jog or bike on the 27-mile multi-use Burke-Gilman Trail or go birding at Union Bay Natural Area, a rich biodiverse habitat.
