Community Profile

Summary

Surrey Downs is a suburban community of 275 single-family homes, within Bellevue, WA, a city of 120,000 people in the Puget Sound region on the east side of Lake Washington. Located just south of Bellevue’s downtown urban core, it is within easy walking distance of shopping, restaurants, a regional library and art museum. The community borders Mercer Slough, a migration pathway for Chinook, Coho, and sockeye salmon, as well as cutthroat trout and steelhead. A number of homes have well-established large trees and shrubs that provide excellent habitat, but opportunity remains to increase wildlife cover in yards with more traditional gardening practices.
