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.


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.
