Clyde Hill is a city located in King County, Washington.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.06 square miles (2.75 km2), all of it land.

[5] Between 1946 and 1948, J. Gordon and Mary Schneidler subdivided and sold more than a dozen lots in a five-acre subdivision in Clyde Hill.

Like many US housing projects following World War II, each deed of sale included an exclusionary racial covenant: "This property shall not be resold, leased, rented or occupied except to or by persons of the Aryan race.

"[6] In response to the community's desire to control land use development such as lot size and commercial zoning, Clyde Hill was officially incorporated as a Town on March 31, 1953.

On November 10, 1998, the Council voted to organize Clyde Hill as a non-charter Code City.

Ken Day defeated Don Clark for the first Clyde Hill Mayors position, 91 to 58.

[citation needed] The 1975 mayoral election between incumbent Liberino "Lib" Tufarolo and challenger Miles Nelson ended in a tie with 576 votes for each candidate.

Per state law, the winner was decided through a coin flip, which brought national media attention.

[7] Clyde Hill leans liberal in its politics, though less so than neighboring Bellevue.
