Mercer Island

Mercer Island is about 13 miles around and wedged in the lake in between the Seattle area and the Bellevue area. Most notoriously known for its monetary stature, a very large portion of the island it very middle class, but has many wealthy families as well. The high school (MIHS) has a deep rivalry against Bellevue, and each have their own bragging rights. Where Mercer Island boasts over 95% over of their graduating student going onto college, superior academic standards and an average of 3-7 state titles per year, Bellevue has a dynasty football team and.... the pancake corral which they feel compelled to yell at the Islanders during games for lack of a better phrase.
