From their plateau homes, Highlands Park neighbors are just minutes from world-class care at Valley Medical Center, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and Safeco and Qwest fields. It’s part of what attracted the Seattle Seahawks to make Renton their new home headquarters. From its centerpoint between Westfield Southcenter and Bellevue Square, Highlands Park enjoys a myriad of driveway-to-destination shopping choices and commutes. Routes from the easy-park Renton Transit Center to downtown Seattle and the Eastside corridor are connections that other neighborhoods can only envy.
Set a date with friends to pop down from the plateau and grab a bite or catch a show at The Landing, a dynamic 46-acre, walking-friendly urban village with vibrant sidewalk-edged cafes, shops and 14-screen state-of-the-art movieplex. From burgers or sushi, to salons for pets or people, The Landing is the new heart of downtown.
It’s only natural that Highlands Park students are often drawn to Hazen High School’s award-winning performing arts groups and dance teams. Hazen inspires incoming students from Maplewood Heights Elementary and McKnight Middle schools to hit high notes on the stage and high marks in the classroom.
