Explore Kenmore, Washington, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Kenmore, Washington. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Washington or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Kenmore.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Kenmore defines its character through the steady, rhythmic passage of the Sammamish River, which shapes the low-lying terrain before winding toward the horizon. It lies 1.7 miles east of Lake Forest Park, WA (from Lake Forest Park, WA: bearing 89°T), and is situated 5.5 miles north-northwest of Kirkland. Residents often find the morning air thick with a cool, moisture-heavy stillness that softens the edges of the evergreen canopy. While the Cascades Range maintains a distant, snow-dusted presence on the eastern horizon, the local topography remains defined by the gentle, verdant slopes that lead toward the water. The landscape is marked by a quiet, persistent moisture, ensuring the ground retains a deep, dark hue throughout the changing seasons. The Burke Gilman Trail Site serves as a primary corridor for movement, grounding the daily experience of the landscape in a protected, shared space.
Kenmore emerged from a history deeply tied to the movement of timber and the development of regional transport, evolving from early milling operations into a modern residential hub. Industry here has transitioned from the heavy labor of the sawmills to a diverse economic base that favors light manufacturing and professional services. The proximity to regional transit lines continues to influence the local economy, allowing the workforce to balance professional commitments with a calmer, residential pace of life. Even as new development shifts the physical silhouette of the streets, the underlying industrious spirit remains tethered to the original settlement patterns. People here recognize that the current prosperity is merely the latest chapter in a long narrative of regional adaptation. The presence of the Sammamish Valley nearby continues to remind the populace of the agricultural roots that once claimed the wider basin.
Kenmore cultivates a distinct cultural identity that values a connection to the outdoors, often seen in the way residents utilize the Burke Gilman Trail for their daily transit and recreation. The local atmosphere is defined by a preference for quiet, functional spaces rather than ostentatious display, favoring the long, grey light of the Pacific Northwest. While the community enjoys a peaceful existence, the influence of regional figures like the musician Duff McKagan has occasionally brought a broader recognition to the area’s creative output. Public gatherings often center around the natural corridors, where the intersection of human activity and the environment feels balanced and intentional. Visitors seeking the water can look toward Shilshole Bay for a sense of the wider coastal geography that influences the region's climate. Life in Kenmore proceeds with a deliberate, unhurried focus that prioritizes the comfort of the immediate neighborhood over the rapid pace of the nearby metropolis.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
