Quick quiz: what is the #1 city and #5 city in the US where Chinese are looking to invest? According to Zillow, a Seattle-based company, Bellevue is the number one spot and Seattle sits at number five. What is the reason a lot are looking here? Bellevue is at the center for most tech companies like Microsoft, Expedia, and Esterline Technologies and the list continues to grow. Seattle is also a thriving city with a wide mixture of cultures and people; it’s home to companies like Amazon and Starbucks, which are on the Fortune 500 list.

As our state continues to grow, so will your opportunities to invest, but that doesn’t mean you should delay in getting out there to look!
