History
While the Windermere area was initially settled as potential farmland, its appeal as a private, quiet residential area eventually won out. Subsequently, the neighborhood was annexed to Seattle in 1910, and people began building homes about 30 years later. Since then, little has changed, and many of its stately Windermere homes are original.
