MARKET INFORMATION

Travel + Leisure recently put Seattle on its annual list of "Best Cities to Visit in the U.S. and Canada." Two prominent commercial real estate brokerages placed the Puget Sound area in the top three regions expected to bring the greatest potential for retail growth and investment. Both Men's Fitness and Men's Health put Seattle on their Top 10 list of fittest cities. These appearances in the national spotlight, when coupled with a market worth $104 billion in total spending power, add up to a region that is dynamic today and prepared for its next wave of growth and prosperity.
