Town Square and The Hangar, fun at Seafair
Sometimes called Puget Sound's best-kept secret, the city of Kenmore offers well-regarded schools, plenty of public parks and convenient retail. It's about 14 miles to downtown Seattle and 15 miles to Bellevue.
Gratton says the city has put in a lot of effort to enliven the community, including installing artwork, placing mascot Herbie the Heron cutouts around town, and bringing back hydroplanes. Newer developments include Town Square, a community gathering space with a public plaza, water features and a bike maintenance station. A highlight of Town Square is The Hangar, designed for comfort and socializing, with Diva Espresso and meeting rooms available by reservation. "Kenmore is a small town of fun people who want to have fun," Gratton says.
One of the most engaging events in the area is Seafair. "Everyone in the entire Seattle area would go," says Gratton. " It has our biggest parade, our biggest everything. There are hydroplanes that race on the water, and the Blue Angels fly over."
Kenmore Terrace residents enjoy Farmers Markets and more at Town Square.
The Hanger near Kenmore Terrace is a great spot to meet the warm welcoming community.
