Press
In the press — without the embroidery.
When national television and Seattle newsrooms cover life on Lake Union's docks, they tend to end up talking to Linda M. Bagley. Here is who has, why they call, and exactly what this brokerage will and will not claim about it.
Why the brokerage gets the call
A market most reporters cannot navigate alone
Seattle's floating-home community is roughly 500 homes, governed by moorage leases, co-op share structures, and shoreline rules that have no equivalent on land. A producer or reporter covering it needs someone who can explain why two similar-looking homes on the same dock can differ by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Fifteen years of living the story
Linda M. Bagley spent fifteen years living aboard a floating home before and while representing them. When a segment needs someone who can describe what winter on a dock is actually like, that is first-hand, not researched.
A hand in the market's own plumbing
Linda co-founded the Lake Union Liveaboard Association and helped bring Seattle floating homes into the Northwest MLS — the reason these sales are trackable at all. That history is why she is a source rather than only a subject.

What we do not claim
We publish the outlets and nothing more. You will not find episode titles, air dates, or segment descriptions on this page, because we will not put a specific in writing that we cannot point you to. A media feature is also not a statement about any property’s value or condition — that is what an inspection, a moorage review, and a pricing opinion are for.
Media or research requestCommunity ties
These are not media features, and we keep them separate from the list above on purpose.

Puget Soundkeeper Alliance
A Puget Sound clean-water nonprofit. The brokerage's association with Soundkeeper reflects a shared stake in the health of the water its clients live on — it is a community tie, not a media feature.
Tour It In 3D is a tool used to market brokerage listings, not an outlet that has covered them — it sits with the rest of the vendors and partners we work with.
