Region overview
King County.
The Pacific Northwest's economic and cultural anchor, framed by water on both sides
Where you'll find us
King County on the map.
Seattle on Elliott Bay, the Eastside across Lake Washington, all framed by the Cascades.
Positioning
A region, not a single market.
King County is Washington's most populous county and the economic engine of the Pacific Northwest, home to Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, Starbucks, and a deep bench of biotech and venture capital. For the luxury buyer, this is not one market but several distinct ones, each with its own price logic and lifestyle.
To the west, Seattle's lakeside corridor (Madison Park, Madrona, Denny-Blaine, Laurelhurst, Windermere) and the elevated hills (Queen Anne, Magnolia, Capitol Hill) command waterfront and view premiums. To the east, across Lake Washington, the Eastside Points communities (Medina, Clyde Hill, Hunts Point, Yarrow Point) and Mercer Island routinely transact above two million, with waterfront estates frequently exceeding ten. Bellevue's downtown core has emerged as a peer to Seattle's, anchored by light rail and a growing roster of global headquarters.
My take
Quiet expertise, both sides of the lake.
Most agents specialize in one side of Lake Washington or the other. I represent buyers and sellers across both, because the right home for you may not be where you assumed. A Bainbridge Island client may discover Mercer Island's combination of waterfront and Seattle access is a closer fit; a Bellevue family may find Madison Park's village rhythm more aligned with how they actually live.
My job is to ask the questions that surface that, then translate it into a clear search across whichever submarkets fit. No pressure, no quotas, just a calm comparison of options across King County and the broader Puget Sound.

Getting around.
Two floating bridges, I-90 and SR-520, connect Seattle to Mercer Island and the Eastside across Lake Washington. The Link 2 Line light rail extension now offers cross-lake service between Downtown Seattle, Mercer Island, Bellevue, and Redmond, with frequent headways and full integration with the broader Sound Transit network.
To reach Kitsap, Bainbridge Island, and the western Puget Sound, the Washington State Ferry from Colman Dock (Pier 52) in Downtown Seattle reaches Bainbridge in 35 minutes and Bremerton in 60. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport sits south of the city in SeaTac, with direct service to most major global hubs. For buyers relocating from out of state, this combination, light rail, ferry, and a major international airport, is part of why King County functions as the region's gateway.
