Kenmore sits at the north tip of Lake Washington, where the Sammamish River and Swamp Creek empty into the lake.

Northshore Fire Department covers the city.
Water risks in Kenmore
Near the lake and river: homes on the flats close to the Sammamish River mouth and the Kenmore shoreline sit on soils with high winter groundwater. Crawl spaces here often take on water during long storms, and sump pumps are common. Along Swamp Creek: the creek rises quickly in heavy rain, and properties in its lower reaches have dealt with high water and saturated yards. On the hills: neighborhoods above SR 522 and around Saint Edward State Park have steep lots where runoff and failing footing drains push water into lower levels.
Housing and plumbing
Much of Kenmore was built between the 1950s and 1980s, with many ramblers and split-levels over crawl spaces. Original galvanized or early copper lines, aging water heaters and decades-old washing machine connections are common sources of indoor leaks. Newer townhomes and apartments along the SR 522 corridor bring the usual multi-unit risks. See crawl space water damage and burst pipe cleanup.
