About Woodway
Tucked onto a heavily wooded bluff overlooking Puget Sound, Woodway is a peaceful residential community situated between Edmonds and Shoreline. Home to around 1,300 residents, the town is known locally as "The Quiet Place" thanks to its towering evergreens, winding lanes, and spacious properties. Established in the early 1900s, it originally incorporated to preserve its calm, private setting, giving the neighborhood the feel of a secluded retreat within the northern Seattle area.
Because Woodway is strictly residential, everyday errands and activities naturally connect to neighboring communities. Downtown Edmonds sits just minutes away for waterfront dining, local shops, grocery runs, and ferry travel, while local kids attend schools in the Edmonds School District. Commuters also enjoy a straightforward trip into Seattle, making Woodway a great fit for anyone seeking a quiet, forest-like setting close to city amenities.
