Important Emergency Notification Information

Dear Colleagues,

The BOMA office would like to ensure that you know that you can sign up to receive emergency alert emails and text messages through the Regional Public Information Network (RPIN), especially with the new flood hazard potential in the Green River Valley. Once you sign up, the RPIN system sends you alerts based upon your sign-up preferences by type of alert and geographical area. This is a free service hosted on King County’s web site. Information can be pushed to the RPIN system by several different agencies, jurisdictions and organizations.

The new flood hazard potential in the Green River Valley can significantly impact real estate and tenant businesses, commerce, transportation and other critical infrastructure in Auburn, Kent, Tukwila, Renton and South Seattle. Whether or not you have real estate or business interests in these areas, the impacts of flooding will affect you. The Kent Valley is the 5^th largest distribution center in the United States – significant flooding will impact you no matter where you live and work. It will take you just a couple minutes to sign-up at: http://www.rpin.org/rpinweb/ Click on “Sign-up today” in the yellow banner. Finally, it is critical that you are fully informed about the situation with the Howard Hanson Dam (flood control for the Green River) and how the Army Corps of Engineers will not be able to hold as much water behind the dam until repairs are made. If we get rains and we have snow melt like we did in January this year, it will result in severe flooding throughout the Valley. We highly encourage you to attend a comprehensive seminar on this subject BOMA is conducting this Thursday at the ShoWare Center in Kent. We expect 300-400 real estate professionals, owners, tenants and businesses. If you are already registered - please pass this on to anyone else who might benefit from attending.

[If you need real estate license clock hours the seminar is approved for four hours and the cost is only $25].

Topics include:

Background on the Howard Hanson Dam & Levee system
Flood hazard maps, impacts on real estate and related commerce
Howard Hanson Dam repair plans – short and long term
Communication and notification systems
Government planning, emergency operations and recovery expectations
Infrastructure impacts & disruptions – transportation, water/sewer, power grid, gas etc.
Insurance – FEMA, private insurance for property owners, tenants, businesses, residents
Guidance on how to prepare your properties, tenants and businesses for a flood disaster
Landlord tenant legal issues, leases, communication guidance with residents and tenant businesses
Business continuity guidance and resources
Levee certification and how this issues impacts real estate values and development options in very significant ways

City of Renton begins sending out notices to residents to get flood insurance

Filed under: Renton, local events & places, King County, single family, real estate, Puget Sound, Washington, legal issues, economic issues, property management — Reba Haas @ 4:36 pm

As a person who resides in Renton I am on the mailing list of the local city government. With the past couple of year’s having had some big rains and flooding in the area, it seems that there is some long term damage to a local dam that is going to take a while for the Corps of Engineers to repair. If you haven’t looked at your homeowner’s insurance policy lately, now would be a good time. The city says that with potential flooding in the Green River Valley area it could cause sewer back ups and other issues. If a sewer back up originates from outside your home, your policy may not cover it. Flood insurance is available to anyone who wants it, you don’t have to live directly in a flood zone to get it despite popular opinion.

New listing coming in Taluswood (Redmond, WA) near Microsoft

Filed under: King County, market activity, Fair Housing, townhouse, FHA/VA, Microsoft, Woodinville, Conventional loans, staging, wine/food, Puget Sound, buyer, seller, HOA, mortgage/loan, real estate, condo, Redmond, Washington — Reba Haas @ 12:07 pm

We’ve got a new listing that will come on next week in Redmond at the very European feeling development of Taluswood townhome condominiums out on Avondale Road. This complex was built back in 2002 and at the time a very good friend of mine was buying a new unit there. Well, now one of his neighbors will be selling her ADA compliant unit in one of the more uncommon layouts there of a 2-story (rather than 3) unit with one large parking garage and an extra assigned space next to the unit. With 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, this end unit opens up to the lovely park grounds of the development. Tall ceilings in the living, dining and kitchen. Ceilings fans are in each of the bedrooms, including the Master bedroom on the main floor. One of the upper bedrooms has access via continential style bath so is like a 2nd master in the home.

Fresh paint, new carpets, and brand new Corian style counters in the kitchen plus many updated and beautifully ornate light fixtures. Close to Microsoft and commuting via 520 or 405. Easy access up to Woodinville wine country.

Coming on around September 22nd. Feel free to contact us early if you want to learn more.
