The Seattle Highlands

Welcome to The Highlands, a hidden gem within the greater Puget Sound region that embodies community, history, and nature. If you’re looking for a welcoming and inclusive community, The Highlands is the perfect place for you.

The community has over 100 beautiful private residences, each thoughtfully sited amongst 400 acres of this Olmsted designed community. The first homes were built just after the community was formed in 1908, and over half were constructed before the 1940s. Many have been substantially remodeled and updated or completely re-built, preserving the history and charm of the area.

In The Highlands, you’ll find the perfect balance between urban amenities and natural beauty. The community is surrounded by 100 acres of reservation urban forest, walking trails, play fields, tennis courts, and a private beach on the Puget Sound. You can enjoy the incredible varieties of wildlife found here, including countless species of birds such as quail, woodpeckers, osprey, and bald eagles. Many of these birds call The Highlands home, and their nests can be seen resting on the branches of cedars, redwoods, and Douglas firs.

Whether you’re an avid jogger, hiker, or dog walker, you’ll find the perfect route on walking trails, which crisscross through much of the forest. The most spectacular trail is Beach Drive, a deeply wooded path that leads to a quiet beach on the shores of the Puget Sound. You can follow the trail, which runs alongside Boeing Creek, through ancient towering trees, and down to the sands and tide-pools of the beach.

Living in The Highlands offers a unique and unforgettable experience, where you can enjoy the beauty of nature, connect with a welcoming community, and embrace the history and charm of the area.
