Living in Seaview
Seaview is one of Edmonds' most coveted residential neighborhoods — a quiet, view-rich enclave perched on bluffs overlooking Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Housing is predominantly single-family homes built between the 1950s and 1990s on generous lots, with a median sale price around $1.6M for SFH. The neighborhood is car-dependent but rewards residents with beach access, top-rated Seaview Elementary (9/10 GreatSchools), and proximity to both downtown Edmonds and Meadowdale Beach Park.
Seaview is car-dependent (Walk Score 19) — a quiet residential neighborhood without commercial amenities within walking distance. The trade-off is privacy, views, and space. Residents drive 5-10 minutes to downtown Edmonds for dining, shopping, and the waterfront, or north to Perrinville's small commercial cluster. Seaview Park provides the local recreational anchor with ball fields, tennis courts, a playground, and sweeping Sound views. Meadowdale Beach Park, one of the best hikes in the Edmonds area, is a short drive away.
