The City of Lake Forest Park is located in King County, Washington, at the northern tip of Lake Washington. Its neighbors are the cities of Seattle, Shoreline, Mountlake Terrace, Brier, and Kenmore.

A bedroom community by design, most of the city consists of single-family housing on medium to large-sized lots, with an emphasis on retaining the natural features of the landscape. Less than 4% of the city land is zoned commercial; most of that is in one location, and there are no industrial areas.

Lake Forest Park has a beautiful lakefront and lake view residential property, assorted parks and nature preserves, convenient access to the Burke-Gilman Trail, a summertime farmer’s market, and a large new and used bookstore / food court holding frequent musical events. The population was 12,598 at the 2010 census.
