Mercer Island, WA has always been highly regarded all over as a very special place for families to live. It's a "right-sized city" of some 22,000 people out in the middle of lovely Lake Washington surrounded by ever-growing (almost coastal) Seattle.
It's worth looking at "House Hunt"- every weekend on Mercer Island Patch. Always shown- a lot of "diversity".

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.…Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.

The Jury is still out. I liked the "Old Patch". J
