Mount Baker is a neighborhood in Southeast Seattle. A geographically diverse area, it offers a mix of parklands, lakefront, wooded hills, and quiet residential streets and boulevards. It is bounded by Lake Washington to the east, Interstate 90 to the north, Rainier Valley to the west, and Lakewood to the south. 4,600 households reside here with people from ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds every bit as varied as the landscape. The neighborhood has a rich architectural heritage, extraordinary recreational opportunities, a lively award-winning community club, and a respected rowing team. It hosts Seattle's annual Seafair, which includes an airshow featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, hydroplane races, a fireworks show, and other festivities.
