A very cool intersection in Seattle on the banks of Lake Union. If you are familiar with any of the following then you know where this picture was taken. The official address is 2100 N Northlake Way, Seattle WA 98103, but if you know thissection of town, you know you are near these:

  2. Lake Union Loop
  3. Northlake

  5. Waterway 19
  6. Burke Gilman Trail
Urban Surf is an establishment in Seattle. If you have ever been interested in not only surfing, but also kiteboarding, SUP, long boarding, and what ever hip Seattle water sport there is right now, then you need to go visit Urban Surf.
It's a great surf shop with a wide selection packed into their building, and an extremely friendly staff.
I highly recommend visiting this cool place!
Urban Surf is in these Seattle neighborhoods:
 

 

Downtown Seattle At Night

The lights of Downtown Seattle are fabulous at night and the streets are fairly safe in most places. Normal common sense should be observed just as when you are anywhere, but overall, I have never had cause to be overly concerned. I do tighten my grip on my purse from time to time, but Seattle enjoys a relatively low crime rate when compared to other urban areas of the country. It is one of the reasons why the Downtown Seattle is so livable!

Overall look at Magnolia luxury markets and Magnolia historical estates markets: Funding for these types of homes has opened up to the point that affordability has broadened making Magnolia luxury homes and Magnolia historic Mansions more desirable than they have been even in the past if that is possible.

Many Magnolia home owners are not aware that there is a wider pool of qualified luxury Magnolia home buyers and as a result inventory is still lacking. If you have been thinking about getting your Magnolia historical estate, Magnolia estate, or Magnolia luxury home on the market, then please let us know. We have inquiries weekly both from local Seattle home buyers and home buyers interested in relocating to Magnolia in Seattle. In addition, Cooper Jacobs Real Estate has a high profile Internationally on the Internet and is able to gain our clients greater exposure for you online through various avenues. Our marketing is innovative and different. In addition to all the traditional methods of marketing used by all Magnolia Realtors, Cooper Jacobs will surprise you and often our competitors with a very fresh approach.
