About Cedar Park

Cedar Park is a residential neighborhood in the Lake City district of northeast Seattle, generally covering the area east of 35th Avenue NE down to the Lake Washington shoreline, roughly between NE 145th Street to the north and NE 120th Street to the south. It takes its name from the 1920s plats that subdivided land along the lake formerly owned by the Puget Mill Company.

Cedar Park is a small, primarily single-family pocket, and I can help you interpret how it compares to the surrounding Lake City and north-end market.

Housing & homes

Cedar Park was platted in the 1920s but developed slowly at first. From the 1920s through World War II, many lots overlooking Lake Washington held vacation cottages. After 1945 the area filled in as a single-family residential community, and many of the homes date from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.

The result is a housing stock weighted toward mid-century single-family houses on individual lots, with some earlier cottage-era structures near the water and newer infill construction mixed in. Lots that step down the bluff toward the lake can offer territorial or water outlooks, while the flatter interior blocks tend toward more conventional post-war house forms.

Local conditions to know

Cedar Park slopes from the higher ground near Lake City Way NE down a bluff toward Lake Washington, so grade and slope vary noticeably from block to block; the City of Seattle regulates steeper parcels under its Environmentally Critical Areas code, and it is worth confirming a specific lot's designation with the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections. Waterfront and near-shore parcels also fall under Seattle's Shoreline regulations.

Like the rest of the Puget Sound region, the area is subject to seismic considerations, and lower, saturated soils near the lake can carry liquefaction sensitivity; Seattle's Hazard Explorer and the Washington Geological Survey hazard maps are the authoritative places to check a given address. Lake City Way NE (State Route 522) is the main arterial along the neighborhood's western edge and is a significant auto and transit corridor.

Getting around & local texture

The neighborhood's namesake is Cedar Park, a small Seattle Parks playground on the site of the former Cedar Park school grounds, and the Burke-Gilman Trail runs through the area parallel to the Lake Washington shoreline, connecting north toward Lake Forest Park and Bothell and south through Matthews Beach and the northeast Seattle neighborhoods. Lake City Way NE / SR 522 forms the western boundary and links the neighborhood to the Lake City business district and beyond.

Transit along Lake City Way NE includes King County Metro and Sound Transit service; Sound Transit Route 522 runs the corridor, and the regional network connects Lake City toward the Roosevelt and Shoreline Link light rail stations. Cedar Park is served by Seattle Public Schools, and Cedar Park Elementary School (grades PK and K-5) is located at 13224 37th Avenue NE within the neighborhood.

What buyers & sellers weigh in Cedar Park

Lake City Way NE (SR 522) frontage brings transit and commute convenience but also arterial traffic to consider by block.
