• Double-Digit Drop in Inventory

MLS figures for May show double-digit drops in inventory compared to a year ago and double-digit gains in both sales and prices. Commenting on the numbers, Northwest MLS director Dick Beeson said "The crush between the lack of inventory and desperate buyers may soon generate the next TV reality show! The stressed…

By Pro.com

While purchasing a house may mostly be about having a place to call “home,” it can also be seen as a lifetime investment.

Bank Robbed in Sammamish

A man robbed a bank in Sammamish Wednesday morning and police were looking for him. The robber hit the Pine Lake Bank of America about 11:30.
