Hi, neighbor

We're Carrie Watt and Brandon Hundley: married, West Seattle locals, and together the team behind Rooted Northwest. Odds are you'll spot us (and our dog Finn) at a few things on this list.

Showing up is kind of our thing. Carrie co-founded Seattle Secret Shows, pop-up concerts in unexpected places, and we host, sponsor, and volunteer with groups like Mary's Place, Habitat for Humanity, and Seattle's LGBTQ+ Center. Through our Rooted in Community program, a portion of every home we help buy or sell goes to local nonprofits.

So when you're wondering about a move, what your place is worth, or what a neighborhood is really like, we're happy to talk. No pressure, ever. Musician or creative? Ask about Music Moves, our homeownership program for the arts community.
