Over a hundred years ago the Olmsted Brothers put into place a plan for Seattle and its parks - this landscape design firm is largely responsible for laying out the master plans for our amazing parks system, but the Seattle Parks Foundation is making sure that the plans are implemented! Lake Union Park was identified by the Olmsted Brothers as an ideal park setting for our city and the first part of the plan to make it reality is complete!
The overall park will be roughly 12 acres when complete, but Seattle and South Lake Union residents can enjoy the first 1.6 acres now! The first phase of the Lake Union Park is complete including a large lawn, waterfront steps, and a pedestrian bridge. The park is set to be completed in 2010. One of the visions includes a trail around Lake Union! I am extremely excited about this project and see it as having a huge impact on connecting Seattle neighborhoods and trails not to mention South Lake Union real estate!
Please if you get a chance, check out the Seattle Parks Foundation website and donate to them!!! These guys know what they are doing!

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.
In addition to being a Seattle residential broker and founder of Cooper Jacobs & Seattle Afloat, I am also a member of CBA (Commercial Brokers Association) and head of the Cooper Jacobs Commercial Division in an effort to provide excellent commercial real estate services to the Seattle commercial real estate industry. With a background in accounting and management, it is my great pleasure to coordinate our Seattle commercial brokers.
