BELLEVUE— The Piedmont, a 396-unit apartment complex in Bellevue, recently sold for $76.4M. That's notable since it's the most anyone has paid for an apartment property in King County in 2014 so far. It's also 44% more than what it sold for seven years ago. [PSBJ]

WHIDBEY ISLAND— The Dog House Tavern, an iconic century-old building in downtown Langley, is coming down.
