First Light, the 459-unit condo coming to 3rd and Virginia has announced they’re over 50% pending, and have yet to break ground!

One88 is the 143-unit condo building going up in Bellevue at 188 Bellevue Way NE, the first condo to be built in Bellevue in something like 10 years.

Perkins Lane, home to multi-million dollar waterfront view properties, is also home to a number of vacant lots (and a treehouse) that look great online.
