"For the love of North Bend" is a blog series that will highlight places, people, businesses, and the many reasons that make this town so great! When I decided that I wanted to write this blog, I made a few posts on local social media sites to get my creative juices flowing, the response was overwhelming! It turns out the reasons why we LOVE this town are immense and all over the board. I started to compile eveyone's loves and it seemed the material might lend itself better to a book (luckily Bob Antone and his wife are doing that for us:). With all of that said, I thought I might start with sharing a place to meet, sip, gather and share. 

It was really hard to choose a starting point but after lots of consideration I landed on Pioneer Coffee…

Costco and the City of Issaquah reached a deal on a new 640,000-square-foot building, expected to open in 2020.

The retailer plans to add a nine-story, 620,000-square-foot office building and adjacent parking garage with about 1,650 stalls at its Issaquah campus.

The new building will mark the first construction after an agreement from a few years ago that allowed Costco to build 1.5 million square feet of new office space, and in exchange, the city and Costco agreed to partner 50/50 on nearly $50 million in new street improvements.

Costco is by far the biggest employer in the Seattle suburb. The retailer moved its headquarters to Issaquah in 1994. The new office building and parking garage at Costco’s Issaquah campus could make room for as…

Agent Success 

It's Great to be an Agent for The Cascade Team!

TCT Agent Benefits  

The average number of transactions a real estate agent does each year is 3.36; however, The Cascade Team's "producing" agents average 24.7 transactions each year!  In fact, one TCT agent did 121 transactions in one year without any additional (agent-paid) administrative help!

What do real estate agents believe is the most important thing to consider when looking to buy or sell a witch’s house?

Incantation, incantation, incantation!... (That has to be worth at least one laugh! I get a shout out on Facebook even if you smiled at that one!)

“Location” is second, followed by price and historical significance, so a house in Peabody, Massachusetts, belonging to a man found guilty at the infamous Salem witch trials should sell pretty quickly at $600,000 or best offer – especially since it’s one of the oldest homes in the U.S., and was the residence of John Proctor, the most famous of the falsely accused witches. How many baths? Let’s find out.

If you want to find out about John Proctor, who was hanged, his pregnant…

It is getting to be "That" time of year after all, so I thought we would kick things off with some "True" frightening tales from real estate professionals from around the country. You might want to think twice about reading these before heading off to an Open House though! Wahhhhhhh…….

 

Real estate professionals are a brave bunch. You walk into unfamiliar homes every day, prepared to deal with whatever lurks inside. Hopefully, the scariest thing you find is a seller’s outdated sense of style. But some properties have more insidious issues that staging can’t fix.

No strangers to haunted houses, many practitioners have real-life horror stories of dealing with creepy, ghostly circumstances in the course of their daily work. With…
