Washington Market Overview

Washington state's economy is powered by technology giants Amazon and Microsoft, along with Boeing's aerospace operations and the Port of Seattle's international trade. The Seattle metro has experienced transformative commercial growth driven by tech sector expansion.

Washington has no state income tax, but commercial property tax rates and the state's Business and Occupation (B&O) gross receipts tax on commercial rent income must be factored into CRE investment underwriting. Seattle's mandatory affordable housing linkage fees and the city's MHA (Mandatory Housing Affordability) requirements add costs to commercial development but also unlock additional development capacity through upzones. The state's GMA (Growth Management Act) concentrates commercial development within urban growth areas, creating supply constraints that support property values in designated centers while limiting suburban sprawl.

Construction Loans FAQ

How do construction loan draws work?
Funds are released in stages as construction milestones are completed. An inspector verifies work before each draw. You only pay interest on the amount drawn.
What is a construction-to-permanent loan?
A single loan that automatically converts from a construction loan to a permanent mortgage once building is complete. Saves closing costs vs. two separate loans.
