Newcastle, city in King County, Washington, United States
Newcastle is a city in King County, Washington, situated on a hillside between Seattle and Tacoma. The town features residential neighborhoods, local businesses, and parks connected by quiet streets throughout the area.
Newcastle began in the 1880s as a coal mining town and was long known for its mines. The city later transformed into a residential community as the mining industry declined.
Newcastle is easily reached by car or public transit from Seattle and Tacoma. The city has parking available in residential areas and several small parks to explore.
The area offers views of surrounding mountains and Puget Sound from elevated positions throughout town. This vantage point makes it a lesser-known spot for quiet moments away from major urban centers.
