April brought another shift in our local real estate market. Pending sales declined slightly, reflecting broader economic uncertainty, but inventory continues to improve. Compared to last year, closed sales were up 1%, new listings increased by 11%, and active listings rose 42%, offering buyers more options as we move further into the spring season.

Are you familiar with biophilic design?

Are you familiar with biophilic design? It’s a design approach that brings elements of nature into our built environments to support health, well-being, and overall performance. Based on the idea of "biophilia"—our natural connection to the environment—it focuses on incorporating features like natural materials, daylight, greenery, and organic forms to create spaces that feel more alive, calming, and restorative.

Making a Positive Difference in Our Community

At Windermere, community involvement is at the heart of what we do—and it’s one of the reasons I’m so passionate about my work. For more than 40 years, we’ve been dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the neighborhoods where we live and work.

On June 6th, we’ll be participating in Windermere’s annual Community Service Day. This year, our office is proud to support Wellspring Family Services and take part in a street clean-up effort in Columbia City. I’m honored to be part of a tradition that helps strengthen the place we all call home.

Where is the world's longest floating bridge?

Right here. The Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, officially known as the Governor Albert D. Rosellini Bridge, is the world’s longest and widest floating bridge. Stretching 7,710 feet (2,350 meters) across Lake Washington, it connects Seattle to Medina and measures 116 feet (35 meters) wide at its midpoint.

Opened in April 2016, this modern bridge replaced the original 1963 structure, providing six lanes—four general-purpose and two high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes—as well as a 14-foot-wide path for cyclists and pedestrians, improving both traffic flow and safety.

Designed to address Lake Washington’s deep waters and soft lakebed, engineers built the bridge on 77 massive concrete pontoons that float on the surface, anchored by cables to the lakebed for stability. This innovative design allows the bridge to support heavy traffic while adapting to the unique environmental challenges of the area.
