			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mike Beck has been awarded the Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) designation, achieved by real estate professionals who have successfully completed formal training in the art of negotiation.  Agents who receive this certification are in the top 1% of all agents nationally.</p>
<p>With professional negotiation skills, agents will typically obtain better results for their clients. CNE agents have a powerful competitive edge because of their ability to uncover information effectively, get more and give less during sales/purchase negotiations, and retain control over desired outcomes.  Bottom line, CNE agents know how to influence and persuade others more effectively than agents without professional negotiation training.<br />
<span id="more-408"></span><br />
The certification training is provided by Negotiation Expertise, LLC, a national negotiation training and coaching company based in Peoria, AZ.  Tom Hayman, the President and owner, is a professional negotiator with 35+ year’s experience, including 25 years with Procter and Gamble, a Fortune 50 company.  Hayman asserts “Any Buyer or Seller who hires a CNE agent can feel confident that they have the best trained agent in the business.  They will get superior results and have better resolution of any issues when hiring a CNE agent.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have lived on the Eastside before you know how beautiful and breath taking King County&#8217;s Cascade mountains can be during early sunrise or summer sunsets. With the rising sun, the Cascades seemingly rise in the sky as watchful protectors over their residents and in the evening have the patient look of a trusted guardian.</p>
<p>One of King County&#8217;s most famous tourist destinations lies East of Seattle along I-90, <a href="http://www.snoqualmiefalls.com/">Snoqualmie Falls</a>. Snoqualmie Falls is a spectacular waterfall at 270 ft and attracts more visitors annually than other tourist destination in Washington. Situated on the top of the falls is the <a href="http://www.salishlodge.com/">Salish Lodge &#038; Spa</a>. Washington has some of the most waterfalls in the United States in the lower 48 States and some reach as high as 2,500 ft.<br />
<span id="more-79"></span><br />
In the winter time, many Eastside and Seattle residents take advantage of the close proximity to ski resorts to enjoy some winter adventure activities. A 45 minute drive from Seattle and you can be at 1 of 2 local ski resorts, <a href="http://www.summitatsnoqualmie.com/">The Summit at Snoqualmie</a> and the World famous <a href="http://www.alpental.com/">Alpental</a> resort.</p>
<p>Some other activities include: scenic hiking, snowmobiling, high mountain lake destination and a wide variety of photographical opportunities.</p>
<p><strong>The Washington Cascades</strong></p>
<p>The Cascade Mountain Ranges were formed thousand of years ago through volcanism and glacier receding. The combination of these two natural forces have created a majestic landscape that separates Washington into two halves: Western and Eastern Washington. Even though these two halves are not separated to far away geographically, the effects of the Cascade Mountains on the two halves makes them World&#8217;s apart.</p>
<p>Western Washington is known for its rain fall and is due to the clouds building up and condensing as they approach the foothills. When clouds hit the Cascades they are forced to release their water content in order to elevate and pass over the mountains. On the flip side, this creates a very large rain shadow that residents of Eastern Washington get to enjoy. Typical weather created by the rain Shadow give Eastern Washington far more sunny days and what can be described as a high desert environment.</p>
<p>In recent history the natural forces of the Cascades has been seen and felt by people all over Washington State. The most famous of all these events is the May 18, 1980 eruption of <a href="http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/mshnvm/">Mount St. Helens</a>. The eruption was the largest volcanic eruption on the continental United States and ash that was flung into the air settled all over the state. Since scary day in 1980, Mount St. Helens has been slowly rebuilding herself and can be viewed on the <a href="http://www.mountsthelens.com/volcanocamera.html">VolcanoCamera</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Washington State is full of the lakes and rivers but there is no more prominent feature on the Westside of the Cascades than Lake Washington.

Every year hundreds of thousands of people turn out to watch the variety of hydroplane classes race and to watch the annual air show. The air show usually steals the show because the <a href="http://www.blueangels.navy.mil/">Blue Angels</a> arrive and put on a high speed aerial display that is awe inspiring to watch. </p>
<p>The boating culture has derived from the many cities that border Lake Washington: Kirkland, Bellevue, Kenmore and Renton just to name a few. In Kirkland, the <a href="http://www.argosycruises.com/publiccruises/lakeKirkland.cfm">Argosy Cruise</a> takes people on day trips in style and comfort.</p>
<p>On the Westside, and on the shoreline of Lake Washington, University of Washington can be seen. On game day, many fans arrive by boat to watch their favorite team play.</p>
<p>But Lake Washington was not always like it is today. In 1916 the Lake Washington Ship Canal was constructed, making it easy to transport goods, and for lake goers, to get to and from Elliot Bay. Due to the canal, a primary Lake Washington feature was for ever changed. The Black River used to serve as one of Lake Washington&#8217;s main outlets but the canal caused a 9 foot decrease in water levels that caused the Black River to dry up and disappear.</p>
<p>The remaining creeks and rivers are Ravenna Creek, Thornton Creek, Kelsey Creek, Juanita Creek and Coal Creek.</p>
