TO THE SPRING ISSUE OF RESIDE

From the shores of Lake Washington to the getaway destinations and communities nestled in the Cascade foothills: In this issue of RESIDE®, we’re taking a special look at extraordinary living on the Eastside.

The landscape is lush, the schools are the best in the state, and for those who want to sell their home or fi nd their next, the communities that comprise the bustling Eastside o er unparalleled opportunities. Far more than Seattle’s “sister city,” Bellevue is a thriving metropolis and there are plenty of reasons residents choose it and the growing cities that make up the many “boom-burbs” to the east, including Kirkland, Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Issaquah, and beyond. From top-rated public education to the proximity of the fl ourishing Eastside tech sector, combined with room to grow—there is a lot to love. The value of Eastside homes has been steadily climbing and with an increased demand for more fl exible and thoughtful space, these communities o er exceptional living that sets itself apart. And don’t forget the amazing escapes—whether you seek a ski-side chalet or waterfront vistas along central Washington’s extraordinary lakes and rivers, the region o ers truly unique opportunities for an array of lifestyles.

We fi rst opened the doors to our Kirkland branch offi ce seven years ago. Then we doubled-down on our commitment to the communities east of Seattle when we opened our Bellevue branch offi ce in 2020, together helmed by a third of the brokerage’s 00 real estate advisors who live and work in the communities they serve. It has never been more important to have a trusted guide with an intrinsic knowledge of the market than it is right now. Working with a local expert to lead you on your real estate journey is paramount to meeting your goals—whether it’s selling your current home while the market is at its peak or buying your next to satisfy all of the things you need your home to be while interest rates are at all-time lows.

In this issue of RESIDE, Misty Copeland shares her favorite things, we explore how to make your home offi ce “smart,” the storied history of Bugatti, and more. From our home to yours, we invite you to experience RESIDE.
