Seattle, a city on Puget Sound in the Pacific Northwest, is surrounded by water, mountains and evergreen forests, and contains thousands of acres of parkland. Washington State&rsquo;s largest city, it&rsquo;s home to a large tech industry, with Microsoft and Amazon headquartered in its metropolitan area. The futuristic Space Needle, a 1962 World&rsquo;s Fair legacy, is its most iconic landmark.
Seattle has a history of boom-and-bust cycles, like many other cities near areas of extensive natural and mineral resources. Seattle has risen several times economically, then gone into precipitous decline, but it has typically used those periods to rebuild solid infrastructure.
The first such boom, covering the early years of the city, rode on the lumber industry. During this period the road now known as Yesler Way won the nickname "Skid Road," supposedly after the timber skidding down the hill to Henry Yesler's sawmill. The later dereliction of the area may be a possible origin for the term which later entered the wider American lexicon as Skid Row. Like much of the American West, Seattle saw numerous conflicts between labor and management, as well as ethnic tensions that culminated in the anti-Chinese riots of 1885&ndash;1886. This violence originated with unemployed whites who were determined to drive the Chinese from Seattle (anti-Chinese riots also occurred in Tacoma). In 1900, Asians were 4.2% of the population. Authorities declared martial law and federal troops arrived to put down the disorder.
Seattle had achieved sufficient economic success that when the Great Seattle Fire of 1889 destroyed the central business district, a far grander city-center rapidly emerged in its place. Finance company Washington Mutual, for example, was founded in the immediate wake of the fire. However, the Panic of 1893 hit Seattle hard.

Shoreline is a city in King County, Washington, United States. It is located between the city limits of Seattle and the Snohomish County border, approximately 9 miles (14 km) north of Downtown Seattle. As of the 2010 census, the population of Shoreline was 53,007, making it the 20th largest city in the state; by 2019, the population had risen to an estimated 57,027. Based on per capita income, one of the more reliable measures of affluence, Shoreline ranks 91st of 522 areas in the state of Washington to be ranked.

Edmonds is a city in Snohomish County, Washington, United States. It is located in the southwest corner of the county, facing Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains to the west. The city is part of the Seattle metropolitan area and is located 15 miles (24 km) north of Seattle and 18 miles (29 km) southwest of Everett. With a population of 39,709 residents in the 2010 U.S. census, Edmonds is the third most populous city in the county. The estimated population in 2019 was 42,605. Edmonds was established in 1876 by logger George Brackett, who bought the land claim of an earlier settler. It was incorporated as a city in 1890, shortly before the arrival of the Great Northern Railway. Early residents of the city were employed by the shingle mills and logging companies that operated in the area until the 1950s. The hills surrounding Edmonds were developed into suburban bedroom communities in the mid-to-late 20th century and subsequently annexed into the city. Edmonds is a regional hub for the arts, with museums, specialized facilities, and major annual festivals within the city's downtown area. The city is connected to nearby areas by two state highways and the state ferry system, which operates a ferry route to Kingston on the Kitsap Peninsula. Public transit service in Edmonds is centered around the downtown train station, served by Amtrak and Sounder commuter trains, and includes several Community Transit bus routes that travel through outlying neighborhoods.

Edmonds

Lake Forest Park is a suburban city in King County, Washington, United, located northeast of Seattle. It was developed in the 20th century as a bedroom community with single-family housing on medium to large-sized lots. 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&ndash;Gilman Trail, and organized summer events. The population was 12,598 at the 2010 census.

Lake Forest Park

Kirkland is a city in King County, Washington, United States. A suburb east of Seattle, its population was 93,010 in a 2019 census estimate, which made it the sixth largest city in the county and the thirteenth largest in the state. The city's downtown waterfront has restaurants, art galleries, a performing arts center, public parks, beaches, and a collection of public art, primarily bronze sculptures. Kirkland was the original home of the Seattle Seahawks; the NFL team's headquarters and training facility were located at the Lake Washington Shipyard (now Carillon Point) along Lake Washington for their first ten seasons (1976&ndash;85), then at nearby Northwest University through 2007. Warehouse chain Costco previously had its headquarters in Kirkland. While Costco is now headquartered in Issaquah, the city is the namesake of its "Kirkland Signature" store brand.

Kirkland

Lynnwood&nbsp;is a city in&nbsp;Snohomish County, Washington, United States. The city is part of the&nbsp;Seattle metropolitan area&nbsp;and is located 16 miles (26&nbsp;km) north of&nbsp;Seattle&nbsp;and 13 miles (21&nbsp;km) south of&nbsp;Everett, near the junction of&nbsp;Interstate 5&nbsp;and&nbsp;Interstate 405. It is the fourth-largest city in Snohomish County, with a population of 35,836 in the&nbsp;2010 U.S. census.
Lynnwood is a&nbsp;suburban&nbsp;bedroom community&nbsp;for Seattle, Everett and&nbsp;Bellevue. It has one of the largest concentrations of retailers in the region, anchored by the&nbsp;Alderwood Mall&nbsp;and businesses along major streets. The city also has a&nbsp;community college, a&nbsp;convention center, and a major&nbsp;transit center, located in the developing&nbsp;city center.
The Lynnwood area was logged and settled by&nbsp;homesteaders&nbsp;in the late 19th century and early 20th century, including the development of&nbsp;Alderwood Manor&nbsp;as a planned farming community. Lynnwood, named for the wife of a realtor, emerged in the late 1940s around the intersection of&nbsp;Highway 99&nbsp;and 196th Street Southwest. The city was&nbsp;incorporated&nbsp;on April 23, 1959, and grew into a suburban hub in the years following the completion of Interstate 5 and Interstate 405. Alderwood Mall opened in 1979 and spurred the transformation of eastern Lynnwood into a retail and office district.

Lynnwood

Renton is a city in King County, Washington, and a suburb of Seattle. Situated 11 miles (18 km) southeast of downtown Seattle, Renton straddles the southeast shore of Lake Washington, at the mouth of the Cedar River. After a long history as an important salmon fishing area for Native Americans, Renton was first settled by people of European descent in the 1860s. Its early economy was based on coal mining, clay production, and timber export. Today, Renton is best known as the final assembly point for the Boeing 737 family of commercial airplanes, but it is also home to a growing number of well known manufacturing, technology, and healthcare organizations, including Boeing Commercial Airplanes Division, Paccar, Kaiser Permanente, IKEA, Providence Health &amp; Services, UW Medicine, and Wizards of the Coast. As of 2019, the population of Renton is estimated at 101,751,[6] up from 90,927 at the 2010 census. Renton is currently the eighth-largest city in Washington and the fourth-largest in King County. Since 2008, the National Football League's Seattle Seahawks have had a training facility in Renton, the Virginia Mason Athletic Center (VMAC), which is the second-largest facility in the NFL at 200,000 square feet (19,000 m2).

Bellevue is a city in Washington state, across Lake Washington from Seattle. Downtown Park has a large lawn, gardens and a waterfall. Nearby, the Bellevue Arts Museum features craft and design exhibitions, plus a sculpture garden. The Bellevue Botanical Garden highlights Pacific Northwest plants, and includes woodlands and wetlands. KidsQuest Children&rsquo;s Museum has interactive science, tech and art exhibitions.
Bellevue lies between&nbsp;Lake Washington&nbsp;to the west and the smaller&nbsp;Lake Sammamish&nbsp;to the east. Much of Bellevue is drained by the&nbsp;Kelsey Creek&nbsp;watershed, whose source is located in the Larsen Lake and&nbsp;Phantom Lake&nbsp;green belt&nbsp;and whose outlet is near where&nbsp;Interstate 90&nbsp;meets Lake Washington's eastern shore. The city is bisected by&nbsp;Interstate 405&nbsp;running north&ndash;south, and the southern portion is crossed from west to east by Interstate 90. The&nbsp;State Route 520&nbsp;freeway roughly delineates the upper reaches of Bellevue.
According to the&nbsp;United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 36.47 square miles (94.46&nbsp;km2), of which 31.97 square miles (82.80&nbsp;km2) is land and 4.50 square miles (11.65&nbsp;km2) is water. The city's name is derived from a&nbsp;French&nbsp;term for "beautiful view". Under favorable weather conditions, scenic vistas of the&nbsp;Olympic Mountains&nbsp;and&nbsp;Cascade Mountains can be viewed from hilltops (and strategically positioned high-rise buildings) within the incorporated city. South of I-90, the city continues up&nbsp;Cougar Mountain, at the top of which is an unincorporated King County location called Hilltop. To the west of Cougar Mountain, Bellevue includes the&nbsp;Coal Creek, Somerset, and&nbsp;<a href="\" title="Factoria, Bellevue">Factoria</a>&nbsp;neighborhoods.
Bellevue is bordered by the cities of&nbsp;Kirkland&nbsp;to the north and&nbsp;Redmond&nbsp;to the northeast along the&nbsp;Overlake&nbsp;and&nbsp;Crossroads&nbsp;neighborhoods. Across the short&nbsp;East Channel Bridge, I-90 connects Bellevue to&nbsp;Mercer Island&nbsp;to the southwest.&nbsp;Issaquah&nbsp;is to the east, down I-90 at the south end of Lake Sammamish. The city is bordered to the west by many affluent suburbs such as&nbsp;Medina,&nbsp;Clyde Hill,&nbsp;Hunts Point&nbsp;and&nbsp;Yarrow Point. The south end of Bellevue is bordered by the city of&nbsp;Renton, and to the southeast, the relatively recently incorporated city of&nbsp;Newcastle.

We had a great experience buying a property with Joseph. He was informative, responsive, kind, honest and professional and helped us find the right property for us and put down the right offer that was accepted. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Highly likely to recommend

I don't even know where to begin this review... Lara was amazing and I can't recommend her highly enough.  My purchase was complicated because I live in South Carolina... and during these COVID times, I couldn't be there in person.  Let me start at the beginning...  I was just about to close on the sale of the dream home my husband and I had built 6 years ago (I was selling because he passed away) when our son who lives in Seattle let me know that the condo unit under his was available and would I be interested in buying.  WOW to be just one flight of stairs away from my 7 and 5 year old grandchildren...  ahhh... YES!  He reached out to the owner who was just about to list... and we were able to avoid commissions and move quickly.  My son reached out to Lara who had been his agent when he purchased his condo and she agreed to take this on for a fixed fee.  The sellers were a young couple, selling for the first time and we all needed guidance.  Lara was responsive, usually responding within minutes, always available, even when she was on PTO, helping both sides of the sale.  And adding to the complications, I wanted to establish an LLC so if we wanted to rent the condo when I'm not visiting in the future it would limit my personal liability.  She was able to recommend a great attorney.  The close was complete in less than 4 weeks.  She was able to recommend and work with the home inspection firm, schedule and attend the inspection, and we had report in 3 days, allowing the sellers time to complete remediation.  This was the smoothest closing I've ever been a part of, and over 35+ years since our first home purchase, there have been many.  Lara was kind, calm, reassuring, competent and always there.  She called last Friday to tell me that the deed was transferred to my LLC.  I shared with her that it was a little anticlimactic and she understood and promised to arrive with champagne when I do finally make it to Seattle.  Then this morning the most beautiful floral arrangement arrived!  Lara is so thoughtful and kind!  I can't wait get my vaccine and get on a plane to Seattle...  and have that glass of champagne with Lara!  Thank you Lara!

I can't recommend her highly enough!

We could not have asked for a better experience as first home buyers. Maybe we are just lucky (however, I know if it wasn't for Lara we wouldn't have had this luck), but one week we got pre-approved and the very next week our offer won the bid on the first home we submitted to. If it wasn't for Lara's advice on an offer price and ability to successfully write up an offer and schedule a needed inspection in a 2 day time period, we would have missed out on our dream home. On top of this, the entire mortgage experience was a breeze with the team she recommended us to work with. We were able to close in less than a month and started the new year off with a brand new home. I highly suggest Lara and the ReMax team to anyone looking to buy a home in the Seattle area.

Christine provided excellent customer service throughout the process of locating and purchasing our home. Marti and I have experience with multiple home purchase and sale transactions in which to compare Christine's performance. Her open, friendly attitude and willingness to listen carefully to our needs made this normally stressful experience quite pleasurable. 

Christine was totally professional in every aspect of the process and very responsive to our needs. We will gladly recommend Christine to anyone in need of an agent to handle their real estate transaction. 

Thank you Christine! 

Christine provided excellent customer service!

Very impressed!

I am so indebted to you for all that you did to help me get the townhouse clean and ready to sell quickly! You took a lot of work off my hands. I am so grateful for all of your experience and help.

 am so grateful for all of your experience !

We were from the east coast trying to buy a condo on the west coast - Lara was so helpful and there for us whenever we had a question, and when she was away on vacation, her teammates were wonderful as well...took videos for us since we couldn't be there and gave us all the info about the neighborhoods that we wished for. We got a place that we love and settlement via internet was easy!

Thank you so much for helping us find our first home! We absolutely love it. 
We cannot express enough how your knowledge and experience in home buying put us at ease through the process. We've learned so much and we don't know how we could have done it without you. 

Thank You So Much For Helping Us Find Our First Home!

Making a major purchase can be daunting and scary, even for real estate investors like us. Lihai came through for us again! We called Lihai again to helping us with a few more investment properties. She was like the best friend next door, always there supporting our real estate needs, whether answering a question I had at 7am or a thought on an area to search at 11pm. DING! sounded my phone, and it was Lihai answering my question, always so attentive! She helped us find the perfect house in a solid neighborhood. Lihai was patient as we searched up and down the I-5 corridor (from Olympia to Bellingham to Olympic Peninsula) and cautioned us about making unreasonable offers when we fell too quickly for overpriced homes. She also helped us navigate in the negotiations and the inspection process. It was definitely nice and useful having Lihai on our side, working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Lihai was that she was always there for us, she was more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than she was on closing a deal. Even after we closed, she continued to support us by connecting us with the right trades people. In short, we will buy again, and only with Lihai. We would highly recommend her to anyone!

She Was Like the Best Friend Next Door!

Kristen helped us find a home in Kirkland when we moved from Atlanta. As a family who has moved many times, we have a real appreciation for knowledgable, honest and detail oriented realtors. Kristen is one of the best I've ever come across!


Demetra brings in a great balance of ethics, knowledge and empathy to each conversation. Her experience and character enable her customers to assign trust in her while being armed with key information to make a good decision. We met Demetra and instantly decided to work together. She has a winning attitude which is a must in this competitive RE market.

Excellent! Our fourth transaction-- You're the best!

Excellent!

Eva is great!  I highly recommend her services.  She helped me sell my house using her excellent knowledge & expertise.  I was a bit concerned in this market & economy that I would be in for a long, drawn-out experience.  But with Eva's help with market conditions, pricing, staging, etc. my house sold in TWO & A HALF WEEKS!!!  And not only that, but her negotiating abilities got me FULL ASKING PRICE!!!  Now, certainly there was definitely some elements of luck involved with the right person finding the house & falling in love with it; but I credit Eva very much with this great experience.  Both buyer & seller are very happy with the outcome.
Thanks so much Eva!

Eva is great! 

First time property buyers and we couldn’t have done it anymore smoothly and stress free if it were not for Elisa! She was so patient, kind, and helpful, she gave us all the resources we needed and walked us through it all the whole way! Thank you so much for helping our family.

Thank you for helping our family, Elisa!

Bought a Condo home in 2019 in Seattle, WA.
Joseph supported me diligently throughout the process and connected me with the appropriate resources. As a first time home buyer,  I was nervous about various aspects of the transaction; however, Jospeh patiently  and thoroughly explained everything to me.  He is very professional, responsive, and resourceful. It was a pleasure working with him.

He is very professional, responsive, and resourceful


We wanted to thank you for your assistance in  purchasing our new home! You were very accessible, always positive, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the whole process. We highly recommend your services to anyone interested in purchasing a home.

Thanks again!

Thanks again!

Kevin was such a pleasure to work with! He really made our home shine when it went on the market with lots of personalized touches that highlighted the parts of our home that we loved. It was reassuring to work with someone so knowledgeable and easy to talk to about real estate, which I found to be a somewhat complicated endeavor!

Kevin was such a pleasure to work with!

We highly recommend Lihai based on our excellent experience. She helped us buy our first house in Seattle area.  We came to the new city with little knowledge about the community and market.  Lihai is very knowledgeable about the market.  She gave us a great orientation and recommended the properties per our location, floor plan, budget and timing requirements (which is pretty tight timeline). More important than anything else,   she is always available, responsive, and patient.  Whenever there was a new posting, Lihai sent the information through and worked around our schedule to look at the house ASAP, helped us analyze the data and compare different options. She also prepared our offer in evening to beat other potential buyers, which was very helpful to bid in Seattle hot housing market. Eventually we got the house that we absolutely love.

We keep our relationship after the transaction. Recently she recommended lender for refinancing which leads to significant savings in monthly mortgage payment. 

Lihai is a reliable, trustworthy, professional agent, I highly recommend Lihai if you want to buy a house in Seattle.

Lihai is Very Knowledgeable About the Market!
