A Lake Sammamish waterfront estate tied to the owner of Washington Equipment Brokers has changed hands for $13 million, according to public records, in a deal that highlights how trophy waterfront on the Eastside is still sizzling even while the under $3 million market taps the brakes.
County filing data compiled by the Daily Journal of Commerce show the residence at 4209 East Lake Sammamish Parkway SE sold last Friday, with the transaction recorded the following Wednesday. The Puget Sound Business Journal also reported the deal and identified Washington Equipment Brokers’ Bruce Miller as the seller.
The house at a glance
MLS and public records describe the property as a roughly 5,260-square-foot home on about 0.85 acres with roughly 140 feet of waterfront, a private dock and an on-site tennis court, according to Redfin. The site’s sales history shows the home previously sold in 2016 for roughly $4.25 million and has carried multi-million-dollar assessed values in recent years.
Who sold it
Public records list Bruce E. Miller and Pamela J. Miller as the prior owners. Bruce Miller is publicly associated with Washington Equipment Brokers, a Bellevue-area equipment brokerage. Business listings, including a Better Business Bureau profile, show him as the principal of Washington Equipment Brokers and describe the company as a long-running regional business.
Trophy waterfront demand holds
Local brokers and reporters say that while buyer activity has slowed for homes below the $3 million mark, demand at the very top of the market has stayed robust. A recent Windermere waterfront market report notes that high-end trophy properties around Puget Sound continue to draw deep-pocketed buyers, and this Lake Sammamish sale fits squarely in that category.
Buyer not publicly listed yet
The Daily Journal of Commerce’s sales feed does not yet list a buyer name for the deal, and the county recording available at the time of review did not show a buyer entity. For high-end sales like this, it is common for title to transfer via LLCs or for buyer details to surface later in public filings.
The $13 million sale will appear in updated county rolls and joins a short list of seven-figure waterfront transactions on the Eastside this summer. We will be watching property records and local listings for any additional documents or agent notes that reveal more about the buyer on the other end of this deal.
