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.

Thank you for your expertise, guidance, and friendship! We had a great experience working with you!

We had a great experience with Claire!

Larissa is truly exceptional. We've been working with her for several years and couldn't be happier with her professionalism and communication. Her approach is engaging, collaborative, and strategically driven and she's very clear and prompt in her replies. Plus she's really fun! We've worked on three properties with Larissa and highly recommend and support her.

Larissa is truly exceptional!

This guy is very good at what he does. He is helpful, down to earth, hardworking and honest.


Helpful, down to earth, hardworking and honest!

Kristen is the best!!! I honestly think we would not have got the house we wanted if she had not been involved in the process.  In such a competitive market you need to have the best professionals on your side or you will be lost


Highly likely to recommend

Elisa found a perfect home for me, then sold my condo over asking. Wow.
Elisa is most impressive. We discussed the parameters of what I wanted and didn't want in a home and neighborhood. She came back with great recommendations and even went out of her way to check houses during the 2021 summer heatwave of death, sometimes by herself, until she found the perfect house for me.  She is also very knowledgeable about the market,  things I would have fix, how, and when.
Oh but there's more: Elisa was then in charge of selling the condo after I moved out of it. She did a terrific job planning, recommending upgrades, reminding me to do things, and was able to sell the old condo way over the asking price, with early offers, and with a very quick closing. Elisa is the best, go with her.

Elisa found a perfect home for me!

Missy gave clear explanations, was a great communicator, listened well and was available throughout our transaction. We would refer her to our family and friends anytime! 


Missy gave clear explanations!

Nadine is great to work with and I now consider her a friend.


Nadine is great to work with!

I can not say enough good things! 

My husband and I were first time home buyers without a clue in the world as to where to start. Justin held our hand through out the process and got us into a home we love and is just right for us. 

He is attentive, thoughtful, and thorough. We always felt like he had our best interest in mind and never felt like we were being pushed into or sold on a house we didn't want. 

We met with 3 agents and decided to work with Justin for all of the reasons outlined in the previous reviewers comments. So happy it worked out. We will definitely call Justin should we ever decide to sell or buy again! 


We will definitely call Justin should we ever decide to sell or buy again! 

Lisa, thank you so much for helping me find a home! I love it here...

I especially appreciated that you understood my concerns about health issues when we were looking. This place meets so many needs I am thrilled! Most of all, I really enjoyed your company throughout the process. Thank you so much! You were delightful to work with!

Thank you so much!

As a real estate professional who has been in business for over 20 years, Kristen Cramer brings a wealth of experience to home buying or selling. When I purchased my home, she met with me beforehand to assess what particulars I was looking for, and then we toured houses that met my criteria. This was so helpful and time efficient for me. 
I also recommended Kristen to neighbors who were selling their home, and they interviewed four other agents before selecting her. They raved about her marketing strategy and professionalism. 
With experience in representing both buyers and sellers, I highly suggest contacting Kristen for your real estate needs.

Erika did a fantastic job helping me to list and sell my home. She understood what it meant for me to be selling a home that I had a strong emotional attachment to, and took the time to answer my questions and hear my priorities. She paid great attention to detail and went above and beyond to make sure my home was ready to show at its best. And, she was thorough in her research for determining the right price to list the home. I could not be happier with the process and the results!

I could not be happier with the process and the results!

From start to finish, Darnell was amazing! Her knowledge of the market, instinct for pricing, marketing savvy, and her Rolodex of top-notch professionals and contractors are second to none. Darnell was always available, patient, and even-tempered no matter the circumstances. She is perceptive about people and properties and great at communicating with us at every stage of the process. When it came to the paperwork, her attention to detail and master of details was phenomenal. Darnell is flat out the best realtor we have ever worked with.

Darnell is flat out the best realtor we have ever worked with!

There is NO ONE quite like Claire and I could not more highly recommend her. From start to finish, Claire was there for me. As a first time home buyer, there were many things I was unfamiliar with and Claire guided me through the process with patience and expertise. Every step of the way was fantastic. I enjoyed the properties Claire selected as possibilities. She really stays on top of newly available locations and this makes a huge difference in grabbing the best of the best before anyone else can. Claire's passion for her trade is evident. Even as we would drive to/from potential locations, she always pointed out landmarks or houses with the most interesting stories/insights. I feel like I know Seattle that much more because of her. Her clients are her utmost priority and this is clear with her accessibility, follow-through, and responsiveness. The process of home buying can be grueling, as was my case because the property was a short sale. However, Claire's exceptional capability allowed me to remain fully confident and calm. Whenever there was a new component to the sale, she would walk me through the situation while laying out options and helping me make the best choice to continue. On a personal note, she is very warm, supportive, and fun. Though she is a consummate professional, her personality makes her a joy to work with. Thanks to Claire, I am now living in my dream condo. Though I plan on being here for many years to come, I know the next time I need to sell and/or buy, I will be calling Claire! 


Thanks to Claire, I am now living in my dream condo!

As someone who has had the pleasure of working with Kristen Cramer as both a buyer and a seller, I would like to take this opportunity to assure that you are in good hands. She handled everything efficiently and professionally, which was a great relief since I was a first time buyer on a tight budget and had worried I'd find the home buying experience stressful.

During my search for a home, Kristen was both patient and thorough. She showed me those properties that met my criteria, and Kristen was patient enough to spend the time it took for me to feel comfortable making a buying decision. I really appreciated the fact that she wanted me to find the right property, the one most suited to my needs. When we found that home, a duplex in Ballard, we were in a multiple offer situation that Kristen handled so adroitly mine was the accepted offer!

Later, when the time came to sell my home, I again relied upon Kristen's expertise. My home sold after only two weeks on the market which was helpful since I was moving due to a job relocation.

My only regret is that she is not here in Portland to help me find my next home !

Claudine, was very professional and did a amazing job selling our home. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that wants the maximum value for their home.

Claudine Was Very Professional!

Larissa has been a friend of mine for years and I knew she was the perfect realtor for my first home purchase. Her expertise and advice of the downtown market was priceless. She was very patient and maintained great communication throughout the entire process. She understood exactly what my needs and desires were for my first home and I was able to purchase exactly what I wanted. Larissa was amazing to work with and I highly recommend her!

I highly recommend her!

We couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated and supportive agent as we searched for our forever home. Lara spent countless hours showing us houses all over Seattle, always reassuring us that a house is always worth a look. Lara spends time with her clients are truly cares about finding the right home. Thank you Lara!

Lara spent countless hours showing us houses!

Joseph is an outstanding agent and we unequivocally recommend him.
Firstly, he is professional, trustworthy and honest. We were first time buyers of commercial property and Joseph patiently showed us many different buildings over an extended period of time. He was always available for questions, and we never felt pressure from him to move forward, ever.  
Secondly, he knows the commercial real estate market inside and out and was willing to share his expertise freely with us. As new investors, we depended on Joseph’s thorough, critical analysis of each property we evaluated. He was forthcoming with whatever issues or concerns he saw, whether it was with our ability to handle a challenging property or whether he had doubts about the building, the property or the sale.  His perspectives were simply invaluable. 
Joseph is also an astute and sharp negotiator. He has incredible judgement on how and when to drive a bargain. As such, he was able to bring the price down from our initial offering significantly. He also provided excellent oversight, so that all the transactions moved forward smoothly. Joseph’s breadth of experience is matched only by his insightfulness about human nature and he knows how to apply this to his client’s benefit.
Finally, Joseph is all about building long term relationships with his clients. He has continued to support us long after we closed on our building and certainly long after his obligations to us were officially over.  He willingly has shared with us management strategies, referrals for handymen, documents, templates and always, always, his great advice.  He was, and remains, a fantastic mentor for which we are incredibly grateful. Because of his long term commitment to us, we have been able to successfully transition into an entirely new field of endeavor and when we move on to acquire more properties we wouldn’t think to ask anyone else for help.
We have nothing but gratitude for the time and effort Joseph has put into helping us find a commercial rental property.  He has earned our trust and our highest recommendation.

He has earned our trust and our highest recommendation.
