📰 In the news
Best Seattle & Eastside patios: From waterfront beer gardens in West Seattle to Lake Washington–framed lounges on the Eastside, these 25 spots serve up sunshine, scenery, and your next cold one alfresco — discover your new favorite patio.
Bellevue Farmers Market returns: The Bellevue Farmers Market is back for its 22nd season, running every Thursday from 3 pm to 7 pm through Oct. 2 at Bellevue Presbyterian Church, featuring over 70 local vendors, live music, and a pet-friendly atmosphere — check out the details.
Pagliacci Pizza expands again: The Seattle favorite is set to open its 27th shop near Redmond’s new light rail station this October, with Zipline drone deliveries coming soon — get the full scoop.
College funding: With fall semester approaching, it’s a good time to explore student loan options. Co-signed loans often come with better rates and higher approval odds, and many lenders provide pathways to release co-signers after establishing good payment records — CollegeAve makes the entire process a breeze.

Anna F. Riley & Denise Niles (Windermere Real Estate/East) – 6 bedrooms | 6 bathrooms | Built in 1993 | 6283 sqft
Cannonball into summer with a pool, spa, and sport court that practically beg for cannonballs, cocktails, and questionable karaoke. The patios are primed for legendary parties, while the garden property keeps things lush enough to make your Instagram followers weep. A detached office/studio means you can “work from home” without anyone knowing you’re actually working on your tan.
Inside, it’s all gallery walls, sight lines, and magazine-level finishes—think art museum vibes without the velvet ropes or security guards. Adam Leland’s renovation sprinkled in just the right amount of wow, so every corner is ready for its close-up.
