LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Fall and winter bring a quiet kind of magic to the Pacific Northwest – something I've come to appreciate more with every visit. Towering evergreens, misty coastlines and snow-capped peaks create an environment that feels both wild and serene – a reminder that true luxury often begins with nature itself. In this edition of Luxe Corner by ERA Distinctive Properties SM , we’re celebrating this region’s unique blend of rugged beauty and refined living. One of the things I love about homes in the Pacific Northwest is how effortlessly they blend indoor and outdoor living, from expansive glass walls that frame forest views to interiors layered with natural textures.
It’s a style that feels effortless but deeply intentional at the same time – perfect for anyone who craves connection to nature without sacrificing sophistication. Another hallmark of Pacific Northwest living is sustainability. In this issue, we explore how eco-conscious building practices are shaping high-end homes, from reclaimed wood accents to energy-efficient systems that tread lightly on the environment. For me, there’s something inspiring about spaces that manage to balance luxury and responsibility. And if city life calls to you, Seattle always has a way of surprising me. It’s a place where old neighborhoods full of character sit just across the water from sleek, modern homes built for the tech-driven lifestyle. We show you how each side of the lake feels like its own world, while sharing the same stunning backdrop of mountains, water and endless green. I hope this issue inspires you as much as this region inspires me – and gives you a fresh perspective on what luxury can look like when it's grounded in nature and built with purpose.
Here’s to a bright and festive season!
