— ABOUT WASHINGTON HOME LOANS
Washington’s Mortgage
Lending Specialists
Pacific Home Loans provides mortgage financing throughout Washington State, including the Seattle metro, the Eastside communities of Bellevue and Kirkland, Snohomish County, and the resort and second-home markets of Central Washington. We offer conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo, portfolio, and Non-QM loan programs structured for Washington’s diverse property landscape and borrower profiles.
Washington State’s real estate market is anchored by one of the most dynamic tech-driven economies in the world. Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, and a dense ecosystem of technology companies and startups have created a high concentration of high-income, complex-income borrowers across the Seattle metro and Eastside communities – many of whom benefit from Non-QM, jumbo, and portfolio financing solutions. Washington’s zero state income tax adds a compelling financial advantage for high-income borrowers, and the state’s Pacific Northwest resort markets – including Lake Chelan, Leavenworth, and the San Juan Islands – create strong second-home, vacation rental, and PrimeResort financing demand. The 2026 conforming loan limit in King and Snohomish counties reaches $977,500 – the highest in the Pacific Northwest.
— EXPLORE BY COUNTY
Seattle & Eastside Tech
Luxury Financing
The Seattle metro and Eastside communities – encompassing Seattle, Bellevue, Mercer Island, Kirkland, and Redmond – represent Washington’s primary luxury and high-value real estate market. The concentration of Amazon, Microsoft, and technology sector employees has created one of the highest densities of high-income, complex-income borrowers in the country, with RSU compensation, stock options, and self-employed tech founder income all requiring thoughtful mortgage structuring.
Key Seattle metro and Eastside communities include:
- Mercer Island – Seattle’s most exclusive island enclave with waterfront estates and high-value residential properties
- Medina – ultra-luxury Eastside community with some of the highest residential values in Washington
- Bellevue – Washington’s second-largest city and Eastside tech hub with a growing luxury high-rise market
- Kirkland – waterfront luxury community on Lake Washington with strong tech-sector demand
- Madison Park & Capitol Hill – Seattle’s premier in-city luxury neighborhoods
Financing considerations in these markets commonly include:
- Jumbo loan amounts frequently exceeding $2 million in Mercer Island, Medina, and waterfront communities
- Complex income structures – RSU compensation, stock options, tech founder income, and business ownership
- Self-employed and alternative income documentation needs
- Non-warrantable condominium projects in Seattle high-rise and mixed-use developments
- Competitive purchase environments requiring fast, credible pre-approval

Investor & Non-QM
Borrowers in Washington
High-Value & Complex Transactions
Washington’s luxury and resort markets frequently involve transaction timing, asset positioning, equity events, or competitive purchase dynamics that require financing flexibility beyond standard agency guidelines. Portfolio lending solutions provide options for borrowers navigating these scenarios.
Portfolio lending solutions may allow borrowers to:
- Structure financing around an RSU vest, IPO event, or business liquidity event
- Strengthen purchase offers in competitive Seattle and Eastside luxury markets
- Bridge from a current property to a new purchase without contingency
- Finance properties that fall outside standard agency or jumbo guidelines
