seattle real estateSeattle has a ton of new "built green" new construction real estate properties - including some beautiful townhouses 

I got the pleasure of touring a few more this last week when I took some buyers through Ballard, Greenwood, Beacon Hill, and even the new development Rainier Vista in Columbia City. 

I am so impressed with some builders and their willingness to put in such a great renewable resource like Bamboo floors!  I personally put Bamboo flooring into my house three years ago and I have been so impressed with its performance!  It comes in many colors, shades, and finishes and fits in with most people's style because it is so versatile! 

The green Seattle townhomes I saw with Bamboo flooring were just gorgeous, but other features of being built green include  the use of energy efficient appliances - specifically Energy Star appliances are the best!   These are the appliances that are going to use our valuable resources efficiently!

Seattle real estate:  getting greener? Check out the smart builders in Seattle and the Seattle suburbs that are deciding to build greener!  I have found that their attention to the environment also tends to translate to attention to detail and higher quality finish work!

Some great Seattle neighborhoods to check out for green home options:

Capitol Hill homes, Eastlake Real Estate, Wallingford real estate, Ballard real estate, Queen Anne real estate, Green Lake homes

Green..will be a must very soon, many want it now, but not willing to pay, that will change.

Cheers

Hi Courtney, we are seeing agents turn "green" here promoting the concept and as Fred mentioned it is slowing becoming accepted and a new wave.  I agree with your observation of more attention to details too.  I think this may be caused by the type of buyer as well, they seem to be more into the detail or they would not have chosen green.  Nice post.

Check out the most amazing Green Townhouses by Eric Johnson - Lyric Construction at 1404 East Fir, Seattle.  Brand new and beautiful.  Rainwater flushes the toilets (when it is raining) and you can have a garden or grass on your deck.  Built green - affordable price range.  Pure magic as far as the workmanship is concerned.
