Welcome to The Lodge on the Island
Step into Áegis Living Mercer Island, and you’ll be greeted by a 35-foot-wide waterfall, stacked-stone fireplace, and soaring windows that showcase lush PNW greenery, a lodge as stunning as any Lake Placid retreat, perfectly tuned to Mercer Island life. At its heart is a one-of-a-kind atmosphere: communal yet elegant, filled with art by Steve Jensen, and local nods, such as the resident pub and the Olympic Lounge, lined with Winter Olympic memorabilia. Every detail, from the cozy nooks to the grand courtyards, is crafted for connection, comfort, and breathtaking beauty. Residents enjoy a stroll through the Zen garden, take a “virtual ski lift” ride, or get hands-on with the chef at a cheese tasting class. Family, friendship, and Northwest pride fill every space, reflecting both island legacy and modern Áegis Living hospitality.

Programming at Áegis Mercer Island means more than a calendar—it's an invitation to live vibrantly. Each month offers over 200 engaging experiences, including daily Balance Fit classes focused on strength, balance, and fall prevention, on-site Music Therapy, water aerobics in the therapy pool, big game socials in the sports lounge, and film premieres in the theater. Residents also gather each week for Happy Hour, featuring live music, seasonal refreshments, and chef-prepared appetizers. Residents help shape the calendar with activities that reflect their passions, from lifelong learning and culinary adventures to storytelling circles, creative workshops, and meaningful opportunities to connect with one another and the natural beauty of Mercer Island.

Dining here is a Northwest feast. Menus feature the local bounty, including wild salmon, artisan breads, and farmers’ market produce, and showcase residents’ favorite recipes. Enjoy chef’s specials around the fire, breakfasts with locally roasted coffee, hands-on cooking demos, or an impromptu oyster bar. Every meal is tailored to meet dietary needs and designed for flavor, comfort, and community, from private gatherings and milestone celebrations to everyday moments that nourish the soul.
