We always like hearing good news about employment because it's a driving force behind real estate values. Richard Conlin, on the Seattle City Council, sends out a monthly newsletter that gives a lot of information about the happenings in the Seattle employment and neighborhood development divisions of the city. In this past newsletter he provided positive news on employment gains within Seattle and the surrounding areas. While it's a bit higher in concentration within Seattle, at least overall it is positive for our entire region and, as we all know in real estate, strong employment helps to bolster home values.
Here is a link to the article on my real estate blog.
