The four largest National Public Companies on the list of the top 74 in the State of Washington are Amazon, Costco, Microsoft and T Mobile.

The “Center of the Pond” for the incredible growth in our commercial real estate economy is Lake Union, right in the center of downtown Seattle. The Trade and Convention Center expansion addresses the tourist industry. Bio Tech is growing as is Apple, Facebook and other giants from Silicon Valley looking to this quiet corner of the world that has had so much impact on the changing face of the world economy. “Seattle” is really part of Greater Seattle and the impact of these changes on commercial real estate from north of Everett to south of Tacoma are incredible. Seattle Commercial Real Estate follows these changes and enjoys the opportunity to serve our ever-expanding client base from Asia, to London to Europe.
