Neighborhood Description The Mount Baker neighborhood is perhaps best known as the portal to Seattle, since those traveling west on Interstate 90 and the Mercer Island floating bridge pass through the "Mount Baker tunnel" to reach the Emerald City. Drivers might know about Mount Baker's elegant homes, Christmas boat parades, hydroplane races, Blue Angels air shows and lakeshore bicyclists, joggers and fund-raising walkers. But the heart of Mount Baker is far more visible in its parks, churches, community clubs and other resources and landmarks that have been preserved and improved through no small degree of civic activism. Residents take pride in the history and beauty of their community. The Mount Baker Community Clubhouse is on the National Register of Historic Places. The community club is the epicenter, spreading news to residents through a newsletter and a Web site. The club also sponsors activities for all ages, everything from Tae Kwon Do and Argentine tango to children's chess. The club hosts home tours and craft fairs, a "newcomer's potluck" and an annual bonfire at Mount Baker beach that warms those gathered to watch the Christmas Ships parade. Over the years, the club has worked to get sewer systems, lights, paving and water mains and helped develop smaller parks. Parks and recreation remain top interests, leading to stewardship and activism. Bradner Gardens Park, at 29th Avenue South and South Grand Street, is a 1.5-acre gem with P-patch, windmill, creek, bird sanctuary and basketball court because citizens fought to prevent the city from turning it into 18 market-rate homes. During the summer, city groups hold recreational and fund-raising walks through the Mount Baker neighborhood and Leschi, the lakeside neighborhood to the north. "Bicycle Saturday and Sunday" is a longtime tradition along Lake Washington Boulevard.
