This is a charming, convenient community with an exciting future. Straddling King and Snohomish Counties on the Sammamish River, the city is located about 12 miles northeast of Seattle within the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro. Neighboring communities include Kenmore, Kirkland, North Creek, Woodinville and Kingsgate. It has grown in strides over the last 10 years from its humble roots as a logging town. The primary economic sectors are educational, health and social services; manufacturing; professional services; and retail trade. The city is known for its family atmosphere and small-town friendliness, even as the population has grown to over 30,000. Public education is provided by Northshore School District, which serves about 20,000 students locally and in surrounding communities. Opportunities for higher education are available at Cascadia Community College and University of Washington, Bothell. Activities in and around the city abound for nature-lovers and city dwellers alike. Nature lovers will especially enjoy the Burke Gilman Trail, which is only minutes away. The short drive into Seattle provides for convenient access to the culture, dining, shopping and employment opportunities of a big city. The more relaxed at heart will enjoy a stroll through one of city's 21 public park facilities. An afternoon on the green is available at Wayne Public Golf Course, known for its beautiful surroundings. Two extensive recreation areas are also located just outside of the city: Bridle Trails State Park and Saint Edward State Park.
