Seattle Shoreline and Richmond Beach: This area is comprised of a variety of neighborhoods, each with its own distinct character. The Shoreline area is located north of Seattle between the shores of Puget Sound to the west and Lake Forest Park and Lake Washington to the east. Founded in 1995, Shoreline is now the fourth largest city in King County and the 10th most populated city in the state of Washington with just over 50,000 residents. Today, Shoreline is perhaps best known for its educational opportunities. Home to the Shoreline School District, this organization is largely responsible for uniting the community and attracting residents. Richmond Beach is located along the Shoreline coast, at the far northwest border of King County. The area was settled in the late 1800s and became well established as a neighborhood in the 1960s. Today Richmond Beach is quiet and very residential, with much community stability. It boasts large lots and an excellent school system and, like the Shoreline area itself, it is "close to everything." Amenities are many and mostly family-oriented: parks (including Richmond Beach County Park on Puget Sound), a nationally acclaimed school system, sports leagues and a library. Richmond Beach is largely a "bedroom community," with most residents employed at such companies as Boeing in Seattle or Everett, the Eastside software companies, and various downtown government jobs. You will find shopping along major thoroughfares; with the convenient access to Everett and Seattle via Highway 99 or Interstate 5, many people also do their shopping at Northgate or Alderwood Mall, or along Aurora Avenue.
