Their visit to Seattle connected them with Windermere and our Chief Economist, Matthew Gardner, to lean on his expertise about Seattle’s economy and real estate market. 加德纳谈到了总部位于西雅图的亚马逊（Amazon）和波音（Boeing）等公司的经济影响力，以及脸谱网和b谷歌等其他具有国际影响力的公司，这两家公司在西雅图都有相当大的业务。 他还讨论了导致过去五年房地产繁荣的因素，以及悦博体育对2019年房地产市场的预期。

Mr. Gardner shared data on the rising percentage of Chinese and East Asian-born individuals making up the population of the greater Seattle area, the factors that have contributed to that number’s rise in recent years, and the impact on our real estate market. 加德纳指出，与西雅图相比，中国大部分地区的房地产规范和金融现实存在差异，他与来访的记者代表团进行了富有成效的对话。
