Brian and Sarah Anderson

Brian and Sarah Anderson

In the real estate business, it’s not uncommon to hear people say they want to live on the water. But when Brian and Sarah Anderson needed to sell their home while they sailed around the world, well, it was a bit unusual. Undaunted, Rick Franz sold their home quickly for more than their asking price, all while the family was still on the high seas. And if you happen to run into the Andersons in some exotic port of call, we’re pretty sure they’ll say the entire process was smooth sailing.


Woodinville

In 1871, after journeying across Lake Washington and up the winding Squak Slough (now the Sammamish River), Ira and Susan Woodin brought to shore a scow laden with all their possession at the site of the present day city that bears their name.

From the late 1800s to the 1950s, Woodinville continued to grow as a logging and farming community, but remained very rural despite its business and residential core. With the construction of the I-405 freeway in the 1960s, Woodinville became even more accessible to markets.

Woodinville is now home to a wide array of businesses, including Chateau Ste. Michelle, Columbia Winery, Redhook Brewery and, of course, Molbaks.
