David and Pamela Jackson

David and Pamela Jackson

When it came to building their dream home, Dave and Pam Jackson were looking to expand their horizons. Literally. But at a time when finding view property within driving distance of work seemed next to impossible, they really didn’t know which way to turn. Fortunately, Rick Franz did. And two months into his intensive search, the Jacksons closed on two acres with 180° views, just fifteen minutes from downtown Bellevue. All of which means that Dave and Pam now know exactly which way to turn. Especially at sunset.


Kirkland

The City of Kirkland was named after a British-born steel tycoon, Peter Kirk, who came to the Northwest in the 1880s seeking new development opportunities.

Kirkland incorporated in 1905 with a population of 400. By 1940, Kirkland's Lake Washington Shipyard was building warships for the U.S. Navy. More than 25 warships were built during World War II on what is now Carillon Point.

Today, Kirkland is a growing community of art galleries, restaurants and parks. Some of my favorite restaurants in Kirkland include The Third Floor Fish Cafe, and The Yarrow Bay Grill. Kirkland's Performing Arts Center is a great place to catch a play, or if you are just looking for a good bottle of wine, visit The Grape Choice.

If you have kids in little league, then you will be interested in visiting the sites for the Kirkland American and Kirkland National leagues.
