The community of Newcastle is conveniently located southeast of Bellevue at the interchange of I-405 and I-90.    This former coal-mining area is now a suburban, residential community, with a core retail area in the center of the city.  Here you’ll find tree-lined, established neighborhoods sandwiched between new higher-end housing developments, all with easy access to Seattle, Bellevue, Issaquah, Renton and Sea-Tac Airport. 
 Popular recreational trails cross the neighborhoods.  The city maintains 12 neighborhood parks, including Lake Boren Park, where the Summer Concerts in the Park series is held.  Each September residents celebrate Newcastle Days, a weekend of entertainment and activities.
