Woodway, WA

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.
