Where athletes actually live · beyond the 20-minute zone

The neighborhoods above sit inside a twenty-minute drive of Kraken Community Iceplex. But many athletes prioritize lifestyle, privacy, and prestige over commute — these are the areas across Seattle where athletes most often buy and rent, even though they’re a longer drive from the facility.

Medina

$5M – $40M+
Medina, WA (Eastside, Lake Washington)
SafetyA
PrivacyHigh
Drive25–45 min

A tiny gated-feeling waterfront city across Lake Washington from Seattle, home to Bill Gates and a roster of tech billionaires, with the priciest ZIP (98039) in Washington at roughly a $4.4M median. Street-to-water estates, deep setbacks, and a private police force make it the metro's most rarefied address.

Hunts Point & Yarrow Point

$6M – $40M+
Hunts Point / Yarrow Point, WA (Eastside)
SafetyA
PrivacyHigh
Drive25–45 min

Two minuscule incorporated points jutting into Lake Washington where nearly every lot is street-to-water, commanding some of the most coveted shoreline in the region. Quiet, hyper-low-density, and walled off by hedges and private docks.

Mercer Island

$3M – $30M+
Mercer Island, WA (Lake Washington)
SafetyA
PrivacyHigh
Drive20–40 min

An entire island in the middle of Lake Washington with its own school district, private beaches, and panoramic skyline-and-mountain views; ZIP 98040 sits among the state's most expensive. A mix of modern architectural showpieces and gated waterfront estates.

Clyde Hill & Bellevue Waterfront

$3M – $35M+
Clyde Hill / West Bellevue, WA (Eastside)
SafetyA-
PrivacyMedium
Drive25–45 min

Clyde Hill's large hilltop lots and West Bellevue's Lake Washington shoreline form the metro's marquee athlete corridor — Russell Wilson and Ciara's 11,000-sq-ft Bellevue estate (sold for ~$31M) sat here. Sweeping views of downtown, the lake, and the Olympics, with new-build smart mansions throughout.
