Local Open Houses, Courtesy of Windermere/Mercer Island (5/3-5/4/14)

Tomorrow, May 3rd, is the opening of boating season. It’s also the 28th anniversary of The Windermere Cup Regatta – a touchstone event for Windermere Real Estate, The University of Washington and Seattle Yacht Club.  This year’s regatta will include 25 races featuring athletes ages 14-70. More than 800 rowers earn a spot to compete in this prestigious event, which culminates with the women’s and men’s Windermere Cup races. For this year’s Cup, the UW Huskies Rowing Team will compete against Great Britain Rowing Team.

Rowing teams are only successful through their collective team work and by pushing themselves to the limit, every time, for the love of the the sport and their crew. Jill Jacobi Wood, OB Jacobi & Geoff Wood shared on the Windermere Blog, “It’s that commitment to excellence, seen on the face of every rower on every shell at the Windermere Cup that makes us proud to sponsor this event each year. It reminds us of our own guiding principles at Windermere: strong relationships built on trust, goodwill, and mutual respect; a spirit of teamwork that makes us more successful as a whole than we are individually; and a ceaseless commitment to excellence and unparalleled service.It’s truly a great tradition to be a part of.” It will be an amazing day on the water tomorrow, as we watch thousands of people coming together for a common cause.
