Salmon Bay Lending

Salmon Bay Mortgage is a mortgage lender offering home purchase, refinance and construction loans, along with programs such as StepUp, which lets homeowners buy before selling their current home, and HELOCs for borrowing against home equity. The company describes its approach as calm and thoughtful, with an emphasis on service and relationships over volume. Clients are referred to its loan officers, who walk buyers through pre-approval and documentation.

The firm is a division of Golden Empire Mortgage and is licensed in Washington and Oregon. Prospective borrowers can start an application online or call the office, and the team also holds classes and posts weekly video updates. The office is on Greenwood Avenue North in Seattle.
