Spring Break Fun and Local News
April 19, 2011 | 
Author The Troll has been able to keep up his torrid work schedule by enlisting the help of an old ally, Grandpa Troll. With the kids out of school for the week the Troll had the foresight to fly in a ringer. Yes, Grandpa Troll to the rescue. Items on the schedule this week include the Star Wars exhibit at the Pacific Science Center (really cool), the newly released Hop, a Mariners day game and some well timed outdoor activities (is that the sun?). And since the Troll has a quiet office he can relay some news.
I drove by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation yesterday and saw that it was nearly completed. It appears that it will be ready for operations this summer. The Gates Foundation is currently hiring for numerous positions in global health and will employ in the neighborhood of 2,000 in its new Seattle Headquarters.
Vulcan Inc. (Paul Allen) is also in the final stages of completing the new Amazon Headquarters. The estimates on that project (11 buildings and 1.6 million SqFt) reveal that approximately 6,000 Amazon employees will be working in South Lake Union. The new jobs are a welcome sight and should provide a boost in demand for our local housing market.
In other news, Mercer St was closed this past weekend and will be closed an additional 20 weekends.

Open for Business!
Well, after a good six months of diligent preparation Wallingford Realty Inc. is getting its start! I’d like to take a quick moment to thank a few people for all of their hard work. Cherie Smittle is the one responsible for creating this fantastic site. We set out to create something totally different from our competition and I think we succeeded. I hope you really enjoy it. I’d also like to thank Erin Sartain for her creative thinking in getting our message out. Lastly, and most important, I’d like to thank my wife Carey for her unwavering support in this effort. I love you baby and I couldn’t have done it without you.
For my first post I’d like to briefly discuss the new project at Stone Way and N 40th St. I have to say that as I watched that crane go up I felt for the first time in a while that the winds were changing. The project will be 154 apartments and some additional mixed retail. For those that don’t know our office is very close to that project and it will be nice to look upon that property and not think of it as a pool. Exciting Times indeed folks!
If you poke around the site you will get to know what we are all about so I’ll leave the exploring to you. I’ve been in this game a long time and if I don’t know the answer, chances are I know someone who does. That said; please don’t hesitate to “Ask the Troll….Anything”.
If you’re an agent looking to find the perfect nest to cultivate your skills and expertise, look no further. We will be adding staff in the coming weeks and look forward to speaking with you.
Stay tuned!
