ShulMap maps 2 Orthodox communities in Washington State: Seward Park and North Seattle. Together they have 6 shuls on the map, plus 3 day schools and 2 mikvaos. Each has its own page with a walkable shul map.
Seward Park has the most on ShulMap, with 4 mapped, followed by North Seattle (2). Shul count is a rough guide to community size, not to fit — a smaller community with a daily minyan near housing you can afford may suit a family better than a bigger one.
By the US Census median home value for each community's ZIP (2020–2024), Seward Park ($810,500) is the most affordable in Washington State, and North Seattle ($1,094,600) the most expensive.

It differs community by community, and ShulMap never infers one. Each community page carries its own eruv detail with the source and the date it was last checked. Always confirm with your local rav or the eruv hotline before carrying on Shabbos.
Walking distance: Walking-distance circles are approximate and do not assert a halachic standard. Confirm what is walkable for you locally.
