Yarrow Point, WA

Jutting into Lake Washington between Bellevue and Kirkland, Yarrow Point is a quiet, tree-shaded peninsula known for its waterfront views and relaxed neighborhood feel. With just over a thousand residents and only one road leading into town, you will not find much pass-through traffic, which keeps the streets peaceful and walkable. Even with its secluded setting, the town sits right off State Route 520, making trips into downtown Seattle or Bellevue quick and straightforward.

Residents spend plenty of time outdoors, whether strolling through the Wetherill Nature Preserve, walking the Points Loop Trail, or heading down to pocket parks and street-end beach access points along Cozy Cove. Families are often drawn here by the close-knit neighborhood vibe and zoning for top-tier Bellevue School District campuses, including Clyde Hill Elementary and Bellevue High. It is a welcoming lakeside enclave that pairs quiet residential charm with easy access to the rest of the region.
