Double whammy hits big local real-estate portfolio + Westlake Center, Amazon.com Tower among other troubled properties + Office vacancies flat in Seattle and Eastside

[mEDITate-OR:
believe those who are telling U.S. that commercial RE is not in serious trouble...

Delay and deny.

These three Seattle Times Articles are stunning.
In there empty promises and/or premises.

All of that investment money, almost all of it borrowed, now gone.

Into each life a little rain must fall....
In Seattle, even that is a wee skoshi bit higher.

Westlake Center, Amazon.com Tower among other troubled properties
Several other prominent Seattle office towers also have big loans coming due that are at risk of default, according to analysts

Office vacancies flat in Seattle and Eastside
Vacancy rates and rents for office space changed little during the last quarter, but that in itself is a change from the soaring vacancies and free-falling lease rates of a year ago.
