Reasons to Have a Home In Seattle Washington

Ask Longtime Seattle residents what best typifies the city’s appeal and the answer is invariably the same.

“Seattle is all about living a healthy life that centers around the water,” says Joseph Brazen, broker/owner of Brazen Sotheby’s International Realty. “So much of our day-to-day life involves the water, whether it’s just soaking in the gorgeous views out to the islands or taking your boat to a waterfront restaurant for dinner”.

Served by a network of reliable ferries, nearby islands like Bainbridge, Woodby and the San Juans offer compelling opportunities for those seeking homes that combine the appeal of relative isolation with cosmopolitan amenities close at hand. Perched on an isthmus between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, Seattle is not only a hotbed for music and the arts, its profundity of restaurants are well-served by local farmers who enjoy a long  growing season, and its devotion to coffee–Starbucks and Seattle’s Best are based here–is world renowned.
