425 poll ranks Kirkland as the best city on Seattle's Eastside!

Food and Dining, Health and Beauty, Business, Pets and Local Favorites....which are best on Seattle's Eastside?  The annual poll has been taken and results are in for 425 Magazine .  As a Kirkland resident, I was delighted to see that Kirkland was named "Best City" for 2011! 

Kirkland has recently doubled it's population with the annexation.  Now there are even more residents who will be enjoying the Lake Washington waterfront, popular shopping districts, wonderful art galleries,  workplaces, a notable school district, dozens of fantastic parks and diverse and distinctive neighborhoods.  So glad 425 recognized what so many of us knew from first hand experience:  Kirkland is a great place to live, work and play!

Selling Like Hotcakes in Bellevue!

So with all this bad national economic news....here's a bright spot in our corner of the world: Bellevue housing listed between $500K and $950K is selling like hotcakes! The demand ratio is 1.21:1....or put another way, for the 40 homes currently listed in this price range, there are currently 33 in this same price range that are pending. Anything less that a 2.5 ratio in this price range is considered a seller's market.
