Residents lucky enough to live in the Seward Park neighborhood find themselves in close proximity to an amazing park in Seattle! The history is of course wonderful as well! According to the Parks historical data, in 1892 it was suggested to the city of Seattle that they purchase Bailey Peninsula by EO Schwagerl and many people thought that it was way too far away from the city to be considered as a park land. The Olmsted Brothers who were responsible for so many of our parks and the majority of the park system in and around Seattle agreed with Schwagerl and included the Bailey Peninsula purchase in their overall Seattle parks plan in 1903. The peninsula was purchased in 1911for a sum of $322,000 and named after the secretary of state responsible for the Alaskan purchase, William H Seward.

About Me:
Seattle real estate has been a big part of my life for well over a decade since I began my career in real estate,but also before that time when I was in the process of purchasing my own first home. Buying your first home can be quite overwhelming,but I have managed to help many first time home buyers along the way.
Move up Seattle buyers and other types of specialized purchasing is a great passion of mine! I love Seattle houseboats and you can find me down on the docks of Lake Union and Portage Bay several times a week. Other aspects of Seattle real estate that I adore include Queen Anne Real Estate,Wallingford Real Estate, Ballard Real Estate, Green Lake Real Estate, Laurelhurst Real Estate, Magnolia Real Estate,andSeattle Waterfront Real Estate.
