SeaTac's practically in the backyard
Cedarhurst is just a few miles from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. "The neighborhood is nice, but virtually on top of SeaTac," says Jim Pullin, managing broker at Skyline Properties. This small community is in the northeast part of the suburban city of Burien. It's about a 9-mile trip north, straight to Downtown Seattle. "Parts of the neighborhood have very nice views of the Sound to the west," Pullin says.

Commuter-friendly with Highway 509
Burien draws people in part for its proximity perks. "People live here for affordability and the commute," Pullin says. State Route 509 passes through Cedarhurst, and bus stops are found along First Avenue, which runs on the neighborhood's west side. Those seeking a new vehicle are in luck, as the area has a lot of car dealerships and automotive businesses. It's a few miles' drive to reach Tukwila Park & Ride, located on Interurban Avenue, right by the area where state Route 599 and Interstate 5 overlap.
1st Avenue shops, Casa Italiana
Close to home, there are some businesses, including Burien Bark for landscaping, Tsehay Beauty Supply and Salon and St. Vincent de Paul Society thrift store. Eateries along First Avenue include Wah Kue Cafe for chop suey and Cantonese dishes and long-standing Smokey's Char-Broiled for burgers, shakes and more. Casa Italiana Italian Cultural Center hosts language classes and events, and its Casa Caffé is open mornings and afternoons on Wednesday through Saturday, with pastries, beer and wine and import items for sale. The walkable blocks of Olde Burien are a couple of miles away. Visitors enjoy their pick of locally owned boutiques and restaurants. For everyday grocery shopping, there are stores less than a half-mile from most Cedarhurst homes. Fred Meyer is located just south of the neighborhood, and Safeway is to the north.
