Lake Forest Park is a suburban city in King County, Washington, United States, located northeast of Seattle.

Less than 4% of the city's land is zoned commercial, largely concentrated in one location, and there are no industrial areas.
The city is situated at the northwest end of Lake Washington along State Route 522, which provides connections to Seattle and Bothell. Lake Forest Park includes several parks and nature reserves, access to the Burke–Gilman Trail, and organized summer events. The population of the city was 13,630 at the 2020 census.
