Kennydale at Ground Level

Ground: slopes running down to the south end of Lake Washington
Housing: older lakeside homes, mid-century houses and newer view homes on the hillside
Water usually comes from: hillside runoff and seepage into lower levels, gutters, and aging plumbing

Slopes Running Down to the Lake

Kennydale sits on the hillside at the south end of Lake Washington, north of downtown, with I-405 cutting across the slope. It has deep roots: its early residents included Black miners from Missouri who came to work the coal seams in these hills. Today it's a mix of older lake houses, mid-century homes and newer houses built for the view. On a slope like this, water damage often starts outside. Long rains send runoff downhill, and it collects against the uphill walls of houses and seeps into lower levels.

What's Under the Houses

Many houses here have daylight basements: one side opens to the lake view, and the other is buried in the hill. That buried wall is where water appears first, as a damp line at the base of the drywall or a wet strip of carpet. Older lake homes may have lower levels close to the water table, which stay damp well into spring.
