KIRKLAND, WA—The local economy continues to run hot mainly due to technology jobs, with year-over-year nonfarm payroll increasing at 3.9%, the fastest growth rate since the turn of the century. The Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro statistical area had an unemployment rate of 3.9% in July, in line with the all-time high of the national rate.
In keeping with this hot trajectory, office buildings are flying off the shelves in key areas of the metro. A recent example are the four multi-tenant office buildings at Plaza Yarrow Bay totaling 284,313 square feet which sold for $134.5 million. The buyer was undisclosed and the seller was Kilroy Realty.
