History

Just over a month later, on August 9, the business district incorporated as the Town of Mercer Island, wholly surrounded by the City. Mercer Island is a city in King County, Washington County, Washington, United States and the name of the island in Lake Washington on which the city sits. The Lake Washington Floating Bridge was built in 1940, and this spurred the move of the business district to its present location near the northern end of the island. Calkins built a resort, the Calkins Hotel, in 1889 in East Seattle. In the 1930s, George Lightfoot began campaigning for a bridge to Seattle.
