Newcastle

Newcastle combines a wooded residential setting with an industrial past in a way that reflects its position between Lake Washington and the foothills of the Cascade Range. Coal Creek runs through the city’s landscape before reaching Lake Washington, while nearby Cougar Mountain helps define the forested eastern edge of the Seattle metropolitan area. Coal mining shaped the original community in the nineteenth century; remnants of that era are interpreted at historic mining sites and trails around Coal Creek. Today, Newcastle is a small Eastside city linked by road to Bellevue, Renton and Issaquah, yet it retains substantial green space.
