Business Overview: King County Real Estate Market
King County, Washington, boasts a dynamic real estate market driven by a mix of urban hubs like Seattle and sprawling suburban and rural areas. Known for its tech-driven economy, cultural diversity, and scenic beauty, the region has seen fluctuating housing prices due to high demand and limited supply.
