Nestled above the waterfront properties of Sheridan Beach, Sheridan Heights was established in the 1960's and maintains a very residential flavor. Its strengths are an easy commute and a stable, quiet character. Housing styles range from ramblers, ramblers with daylight basements, splits, tri-levels, and multi-levels and large family homes. Some houses boast Lake Washington views. Lots tend to run larger than those in Seattle, a better buy for your dollar. Shopping is found on Bothell Way and Ballinger Way, which are both major thoroughfares; the rest of the area is very residential. Sheridan Heights is one of those "close to everything" neighborhoods; many residents also do their shopping at Northgate in North Seattle or Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood. Some resident's work in local service industries, though with the convenient access to both Seattle and Everett, most work elsewhere. Major employers include the Boeing sites in both Seattle and Everett, the software companies of the Eastside (including Microsoft) and downtown government jobs. |
