This is a great article about the Overlake area, what it offers today, and how much it has changed. The Overlake area encompasses a good part of West Redmond. I've been in this area for 21 years, and I agree, there have been a lot of changes. Twenty-one years ago, Microsoft had already been built on the main campus. There were ten original buildings which you could not see from 156th. There were a few other building that dotted the main campus, but all of those have come down and new structures built.

Microsoft clearly has had a huge affect on the Overlake. The economy is booming because of Microsoft. In fact, Microsoft is "the gift that keeps on giving" to the Overlake area. So much development is planned for the future that, according to this article, this area will be double the size of the office space in the Columbia Tower.

Overlake/West Redmond is a healthy mix of single family homes, condominiums, retail and office space. It is all here and only gets better. This is a great place to call home.
