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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was referred over to Justin from a friend and colleague of mine. My regret is that I didn't reach out sooner during my condo search. Justin, and his brother Andrew, were a breath of fresh air to work with - incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and a unique duo to work with combining their real estate and construction backgrounds. 

I didn't end up going with them, as another search I had from previous months before yielded a result, but would absolutely use their services for my next search. 

Since my condo purchase, I've been in contact with Justin and Andrew for contractor referrals and various questions. Even though they have nothing to gain from my inquiries, they continually go above and beyond to help me out. 


My regret is that I didn't reach out sooner!

Ross went above and beyond the expectations of a buying and listing agent! He was professional and knew when to listen and when to act. Thank you, friend!

Thank you, friend!

Leslie is the best person you could possibly have helping you sell your house. She works tirelessly and goes above and beyond what she needs to do. She is fantastic to work with and her ideas and sense of styling are impeccable. You definitely get your bang for the buck when working with Leslie. I am so glad I had her as my realtor. I couldn’t imagine anyone else doing what she did to improve the salability of my house. If you are looking for a realtor look no further she is fabulous.

"...sense of styling are impeccable."

We can't recommend our realtor Justin Mellon more. We just finished selling our first home and buying our new home and Justin negotiated both processes for us flawlessly. He listened to our needs, represented our wants, and helped us through every question and concern we threw his way. He is one of the most helpful individuals we have ever encountered and his extensive network of talented people to help with your home is incredible. We hired Justin to help us sell our home because well, he seemed like a really nice guy. We struck up a conversation with him while out looking at houses and we're a bit embarrassed to admit that we really did not do much more homework than that. So, kudos to you for doing some research on line!

Justin was easy to talk to, he listened, he was kind, and he held his conversation steady when our toddler was running around the beautiful house he was showing like a wild animal. He came to our house soon after and gave us an incredibly thorough and thoughtful estimate on our home. We were impressed by how knowledgeable and confident he was, the services that he and Lake and Company offer, and his obvious commitment to the profession. There was no question that Justin was who we should work with. Justin gave us excellent and reasonable recommendation for how to get the best value for our house, and we truly believe his advice paid off and then some in the sale price of our home. We had never sold a house before and were worried that in a down market it was going to be difficult.

Justin's expertise in helping us to prep our home and price it both competitively and fairly helped us negotiate multiple offers and sell our house quickly to a great buyer. So we sold our house faster than we ever imagined we would for an incredible value. Now we needed to buy a home! Again Justin led us through the search process with confidence and compassion. He really took each impression we had of a house as a way to learn more about us as buyers, never showing frustration, and never pressuring us toward a home that would not be right for us. He was always available for questions and to show us any house that we were interested in. When the right house arrived on the market, it did not do so without the need for some negotiation, and Justin is a master at the negotiating table. He got us into the house in a multiple offer situation, without sacrificing any of the demands we had for the seller. So, here we are in a home we love, in the neighborhood we wanted to live in and it turns out that our first instinct was actually correct. Justin is a really nice guy. And that kindness seems to guide all that he does. He really cares about this process, and understands that selling and buying houses are more than just sales transactions, they are enormous life choices that impact an entire family.

He really cares about this process!

She knew the process very well and guided us smoothly through the buying process. She was always quick to respond and easy to work with. We had a lot of demands and she helped negotiate the terms of the purchase to get us the best deal.

As you both know by now, I'm not a big fan of this type of process/transaction, or the stereotypical characters one encounters in the real estate biz. However, I think we are fortunate to have met you and had your help. You're professional, supportive, and ethical people and you are very much appreciated. Thanks again.

You're professional, supportive, and ethical!

Working with Elisa was an amazing experience! From the first time we met her she established a connection with our family that truly felt like a partnership. Elisa is thorough and thoughtful in understanding what you are looking for in a home. From the very first week, she understood what we wanted in a home and how that home would best suit our family. She is very detail oriented and her knowledge of the local housing market was invaluable in helping us navigate a challenging and uncertain time to buy a house. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Working with Elisa was an amazing experience!

As always, it was a pleasure working with you. 

It was a pleasure!

Sam is top-notch! She quickly found a home that's a perfect fit for my needs and price range. Sam was thorough and helpful at every step of the process, and such a pleasure to work with! Not only do I have a new home - I have a new friend!

Sam is top-notch!

Larissa is amazing, a true professional. I have worked with Larissa to sell two homes, and let me tell you, she will get you top dollar. She has great design ideas to help you improve the property and to get it staged. And when it comes to negotiating, you will be glad she is on your side.

If you are looking for a pro who is super responsive and easy to work with, you will not find anyone better. I highly recommend Larissa to buy or sell your next home.

Larissa is amazing, a true professional!

Lisa was incredibly professional: always available and willing to answer questions. She knew our selling neighborhood AND our buying neighborhood extremely well. She helped us make a list of things to fix up before putting our home on the market and checked in regularly to see how it was going and making further suggestions. Lisa KNOWS HER STUFF.


Lisa was incredibly professional!

Jackie possesses an uncanny ability to keep her clients (me!) calm and to confidently support her clients (me!) throughout the inevitable bumps along the way to purchasing and selling a house. She was always thoroughly prepared for our meetings, maintained an open line of communication by phone & email, and treated me with utmost respect, no matter how repetitive or insane my questions. Any superlative applies to Jackie's skills: professional, knowledgeable, prepared, organized, calm, - the model boy scout. I cannot say enough good things about her. 

I cannot say enough good things about her!

From start to finish, David made the process of buying a home an absolute breeze.  He is a pleasure to work with, and he helped get us into our dream home by moving quickly and working with the resources we had available.

He is a pleasure to work with!

A pleasant experience, Barbara! Your communication, listening skills, and availability throughout the process were 5 stars. Thank you. 

A pleasant experience!

Many thanks Ross for making yourself as available as possible, researching our options [at the Seattle Department of Planning and Land Use], and helping us see it through! 


Many thanks Ross for making yourself as available as possible!

Erika was a dream to work with! She provided invaluable insights, and encouraged me to follow my gut when I fell in love with the first place we toured. She was super responsive throughout the process and went out of her way to set up tours on short notice and answer my questions thoroughly and quickly, no matter how trivial. Even when she was on vacation for a few days! She was able to get me a home for less than listing price in Seattle due to her familiarity with the market. She provided excellent professional recommendations for an inspector and several contractors. I can't recommend working with Erika highly enough!

I can't recommend working with Erika highly enough!

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!

Joseph has been extremely helpful in helping us understand the trade-offs of buying a property of different types (e.g. condo, duplex, etc.), and the differences between various Seattle neighborhoods. He has gone above and beyond in helping us through the negotiation with the seller, guiding us through the process, connecting us to relevant service providers, etc. It's been a much easier experience having Joseph on our side!
