From Seattle or Bellevue
- Take Hwy 520 or I-90 to I-405 (north)
- Go NORTH on I-405 (EVERETT)
- Take EXIT 23 to HIGHWAY 522 EAST bound towards MONROE (stay on right side of exit).
- Move to middle lane of HIGHWAY 522 and continue. After the highway become single lane, go straight through the first stoplight at Paradise Lake Road (hwy 524) past Texaco/Chevron.
- At the second stoplight, turn RIGHT onto ECHO LAKE ROAD. This is a mile past the “mile 18” marker. There is a double yellow flashing sign just before this turn. This is half a mile past the “18 mile” marker.
- Stay on ECHO LAKE ROAD for 1.8 miles. Go past Echo Lake golf course, and past Rainbow Grocery General Store (on the left), and go about half a mile.
- Turn LEFT on LOST LAKE ROAD. There is yellow sign on the right-side before the turn, which you can see clearly at night. The actual turn is hard to see at night.
- Continue on LOST LAKE ROAD for 1.9 miles. The road takes a sharp 10 m.p.h. hair-pin curve becoming W. LOST LAKE ROAD for another half mile. You’ll see the lake to your right if it’s daytime.
- The main road turns sharply to the left just past a 15mph yellow sign. At this point, turn RIGHT onto EAST LOST LAKE ROAD (which has a DEAD-END sign clearly visible) and follow it to the end of the road – half a mile.
- You’ll hit a speed bump. Slow down there. In a few yards you will enter the Sharingwood Community. The common house is on your left when you get to the first Y in the road.
