Highest Sales Price: $10,000,000 Selling at 101.39 percent of original listed price My takeaways: • There were 37 sales in the area in 2020 under $1 million, 30 so far in 2021; inventory in this price point remains stable.

• Year-over-year real estate activity in our neighborhood remains strong and steady with sales up, prices up, and days on market down.

• In 98112, YTD 2020 vs. YTD 2021 shows a nearly 25 percent price increase.

• In Denny Blaine, Broadmoor and Washington/Madison Park, the average home-price increase year over year is nearly 30 percent.

While this is a small sample size, these gains reflect not only our lack of inventory but all the reasons we love living in Madison Park — among other things: great neighbors and schools, the cafés and shops in the village, access to Lake Washington and proximity to myriad workplaces.

Some things to consider: • Time and again, we see that today’s buyers seek homes that are move-in ready. If your house doesn’t present well and isn’t staged properly, the home for sale down the street likely will be and will sell for more. Work with an agent who will advise you about updates and listing prep; if you need help preparing your home for sale ask about our Compass Concierge program.

• While we remain a seller’s

720 Lakeside Ave S #402 ACTIVE $369,500

market and prices continue to appreciate, we are seeing fewer multiple offers, and buyers are having to compete less than they did only a few months ago. I recommend that buyers do not take a break from their house hunt during the holidays; this is the time to lean into your search as homeowners are typically very motivated at the end of the year and you will find less competition amongst homebuyers as people travel for the holidays, etc.

• In this market, broker-to-broker relationships are key. Select an agent who has an excellent reputation amongst their colleagues; it will definitely help you stand out in a multiple offer situation and at the negotiating table.

As of press time, there are 11 homes for sale over $2.5M in Madison Park, Washington Park, Broadmoor and Denny Blaine.

Two of the residences are condominiums, and the highest priced single-family home for sale is a contemporary villa with 130 feet of Lake Washington waterfront for $14,250,000.

If you have given any thought to selling your home, there has not been a better time in recent memory.

In closing, I want to thank everyone who has remained committed to serving our community, supporting our local businesses, and improving this city we love.

Brewing up new opportunities

Brewery to open new location in Queen Anne

By Jessica Keller

Madison Park Times editor Chris Moore, local entrepreneur, has big plans for a vacant warehouse in Queen Anne.

Moore, Queen Anne resident and cofounder of Old Stove Brewing in Pike Place Market, and his partner, Brian Stan, announced plans last month to expand their brewery to a new location in Queen Anne.

The pair plans to open Old Stove Brewing Ship Canal, a

production brewery, taproom and beer garden at 600 W. Nickerson St., near the Lake Washington Ship Canal, north of Seattle Pacific University. Plans call for the development to be 24,000 square feet with room to grow. The facility is slated to open in 2022.

Moore said, when choosing a location, the area off of Nickerson was ideal because it had the space needed to expand their operations and offer a venue for live entertainment in the form of music.

It is also part of an area that has its roots in the maritime industry, and Moore said paying homage to heritage and community are central to Old Stove Brewing’s philosophy.

As well, rather than tearing down and rebuilding, plans are to rehab the old building, which is also important to Moore.

“That’s our DNA, and to have

Home insurance from someone you can trust.

the chance to do that in an old, historical maritime building in Queen Anne, Seattle, is a big deal,” Moore said. “It’s going to be a big deal to have a brewery that celebrates the maritime industry.”

Along with the restoration of an old warehouse, Moore said they will bring a piece of brewing equipment back to life. They will install Fremont Brewing’s original 30-barrel brewhouse at the new Ship Canal facility. Moore said the brewhouse kept Fremont Brewing going until 2017, and he and his partner are proud to take over the equipment that had so much success.

With the move, Moore said the current Pike Place Market location, which was opened in 2016, will be used for smaller batches of brew, while the Ship Canal location will be the hub for its larger operations.

Moore said one of the reasons for the expansion came from COVID-19.

The brewery started canning

its beers during the pandemic because it couldn’t sell anything else, he said.

But Seattleites’ willingness to drink canned ales and beers and desire to support smaller craft breweries allowed Moore and his partner to consider expanding more seriously.

Once the brewery is operational, Moore expects it will increase its production and retail sales in Seattle.

As well, all brewing, taproom and beer garden operations will create 60 new jobs at the new location with additional growth over time.

“It’s a unique opportunity to do good in Seattle,” Moore said.

In addition to locating in an area steeped with maritime history, Moore said this expansion is a way to further grow the craft brewing industry in that north side of Seattle Pacific University.

“When you get a concentration of breweries together, it becomes a district,” he said. “So, the hope

“It’s going to be a big deal to have a brewery that celebrates the maritime industry.”

— Chris Moore, Entrepreneur

is that this emerging maritime district gets some other breweries in it so it becomes a sought out district.”

He also sees an opportunity to create a place in the neighborhood where people can enjoy some food and music with their brews, adding the facility will have some sort of food court, although he does not know what the scale of that will be yet.

Moore said, if all goes well, Old Stove Brewing Ship Canal will begin limited operations from the site this fall, but he anticipates a full-scale opening next spring.

a dwarf “Mariken” to keep in a pot by the front door. It only gets 2 feet tall, but it reminds me of dinosaurs, and oh, that color.

Birches: Betulus sp. White or blush-toned bark and bright yellow foliage. Enough said.

The witch-hazels (Hamamelis) and their cousins: in the Hamemilidaceae family — winter hazels (Corylopsis). The UW arboretum is a great place to view these right now.

Eastern Redbud: Cercis occidentalis Golden Katsura: Cercidiphyl-

lum japonicum — pure yellow with more heart-shaped leaves Carpinus betulus “Fastigiata” — tiny toothed leaved turn golden yellow.

Orange - Orange/Red Japanese Maple Acer palmatum “Waterfall” Cercis canadensis “Forest Pansy” — a blend of orange, yellow and purple colors, but they’re vivid and distinct, with heartshaped leaves.

Cotinus — likewise but with bold, round leaves like mouse ears.

Stewartia — mouth-watering orange-red with lovely peeling bark.

Parrotia — ironwood — beauti-

ful bark and star-shaped leaves Fothergilla –— another witch hazel relative with white bottlebrush flowers followed by a great foliar show.

Don’t overlook perennials for your fall color guard, either — some go boldly into that good night of winter. Perennial geranium, Geranium “Rozanne” takes on red tones on its maplelike leaves. Amsonia hubrechtii turns a beautiful butterscotch, as do most hostas.
