Seahurst
Suburban Neighborhood in Burien, Washington
King County 98146, 98166
Classic Pacific northwestern abodes
Mature conifers and west coast oak trees line the streets of Seahurst. Unimpeded views of the Puget sound increase the value of properties here. Most homes are built in the Craftsman or Midcentury Modern Style, typical of the greater Seattle market. Housing supply is currently limited, with only three properties listed as of February 2024. Most homes are sold in a price range from $400,000 to over $1 million, with a median price of $800,000. A recently sold single-story, three-bedroom Modern Craftsman house closed for $575,000, and represents a more affordable option in the area.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
