Winter is dreary around here, but looking out at Lake Washington makes me think about cruising in my boat on Lake Washington. Even if you don't own Mercer Island waterfront property, Mercer Island, WA has some wonderful access points and a great spot for launching your boat into Lake Washington.  The Mercer Island Waterfront boat launch is a great facility for putting your boat in Lake Washington.  It is only $11 to park for the day at current rates, but the bigger steal is the annual pass which is only $40!!!   If you are interested in Mercer Island homes for sale near the boat launch, let us know!

The kids descended on the park like locusts and snatched up every egg in site.  My... 04/29/2011
