North Seattle Suburbs include Lake Forest Park, Shoreline (including Richmond Beach), Kenmore, Brier, Mukilteo , Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, Mill Creek, Lynnwood, Woodway (including new construction Woodway Highlands and the older Olmsted Woodway) and South Everett (including Silver Lake).

Lake Forest Park and Shoreline are the closest to Seattle and both boast natural scenes like trees and water views. From Richmond Beach in Shoreline, sweeping Sound Views and salty air are abundant. Lake Forest Park offers a ton of trees and Lake Washington views. The Seattle suburb of Kenmore is just north of Lake Forest Park and has its own seaplane airport! Just north of Richmond Beach is the tiny town of Woodway - It has amazing houses, but has opted out of the public library system so if library is important to you, then maybe go with Edmonds. Edmonds sits on top of the Puget Sound and is a wonderful Seattle Suburb with a ton of shops and wonderful restaurants. Just north of that is Mukilteo which also has a ton of Waterfront. Mountlake Terrace offers a huge range of housing - the schools are good and the parks are big - plus there is easy commuting access to downtown Seattle, Everett, or the Eastside! Brier Real Estate is good and this city also offers easy commuting to all of these areas! Brier has a nice range of housing and is known for its larger lots and also horse properties. Lynnwood has a nice downtown and also the Alderwood Mall. It also has a mixture of housing options from apartments to larger new construction.

Mill Creek is a developed city on a golf course. The neighborhoods are nice and neat and the area is ever expanding as more and more people decide to move into Mill Creek. South Everett touches Mill Creek and more and more Seattle suburb buyers are deciding that South Everett is a more affordable option in some cases - plus the new construction is extremely attractive and especially so when mixed with a fairly smooth commute option to Seattle. Look at prices and search for homes in these Seattle suburbs.

Yep - The Park and Ride closed in December!

There are amazing things happening with the Mountlake Terrace Park in Ride..

Construction is underway on a new four story five level parking facility in the lower level of the current Park N Ride. The upper lot is being renovated to add additional parking as well. The result will be a capacity for 890 cars which is about double of what the two lots together can take currently! (update in 2009: You can see pictures of the new state of the art solar facility here: Mountlake Terrace real estate )

The parking structure is set to be completed in the first quarter of 2009 and then shortly after that even bigger improvements will happen. Construction will then take place to complete a state of the art transit island in the median of I-5 with a bridge across to the parking structure. The entire project is going to have a phenomenal effect on the quality of commuting from the Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood, and Brier, Wa areas and residents should take notice!

During construction, many of the bus routes will still be running and transit has arranged interim parking spaces throughout the greater downtown Mountlake Terrace area. A map of interim parking spaces and bus route pick up locations is available at http://www.communitytransit.org/download/MLTmapforweb.pdf.

Seattle Suburbs Real estate help - Tools of The Trade To help clients...

Looking at the technology available to a Seattle Realtor - choosing the tools that benefit the client the most is key! Some of the tools that really have big benefits:

1. Docusign - electronic signatures via email and internet. This is probably the single biggest advancement for real estate in today's market. An electronic signature allows single or multiple Seattle buyers to be able to sign from work or home or vacation at any time separately. Once the file is completed, the documents are available online and can be downloaded in PDF format forms. The contract is clean and easy to read and best of all was easy for the client to sign in the comfort of wherever they happen to be.

2. Palm Pilot or Blackberry - any PDA or Smartphone is vital in the real estate business to keep up and deliver information faster to the client. In addition, Smartphones can open up the NWMLS keyboxes! Text, talk, email on multiple accounts, look up properties on the go!

3. eFax - same concept as Docusign providing convenience wherever the Realtor is so that they can easily provide anticipated fax data to the client immediately rather than waiting until they get back to the office.
