Why Move to Newcastle?
Newcastle offers a rare combination in the Seattle metropolitan area: the privacy and serenity of a small hillside community with convenient access to everything the Eastside has to offer. Perched above Lake Washington and I-405, this residential enclave provides residents with views that rival any in the region - on clear days, you can see from the Olympic Mountains to the Cascades, with the Seattle skyline sparkling in between.
Originally a coal mining town in the late 1800s (hence its name - a nod to Newcastle upon Tyne in England), the area has transformed into one of the most desirable residential communities in King County. The city incorporated in 1994, allowing residents to maintain control over their community's character while benefiting from proximity to larger neighboring cities.
