WSCPA Building Sells Quickly: What's Next?
March 29, 2022
by Kimberly Scott, CAE
In February I announced that after 40 years the WSCPA would be selling its 9,000 square-foot building. (All members should have received an email. If you did not, you can read about this news on the WSCPA blog.) The day the building went up for sale offers starting coming in. We accepted an offer and the building sold at the end of February.
Many of you had responded to my email in February, stating even though you agreed it was time to sell, that you have fond memories of your days spent in the building, attending classes or committee meetings. There is still time for you to say goodbye to the building before the end of June, when we will be moving. I hope you can join us at an upcoming event:
May 26
Foundation Circle Reception (where Washington CPA Foundation contributors in our Leadership Circle and scholarship reviewers will meet recent scholarship recipients) (details TBA)
June 24
Seattle/Bellevue Area Chapter Movie Night on the Lawn (details TBA)
As the building was put on the market, we were actively looking for a new home. We evaluated various properties against a long list of requirements based on member, volunteer, staff and leadership’s requests for our new home. Ultimately, we found a place that matched almost every requirement on our list, and absolutely matched every critical one.
The new location is still in Bellevue, is more convenient to the freeway, has ample free parking and is still close to a bus route. We will be sharing even more details about the location soon.
We plan to hold an open house and networking events at the new location this summer and fall. Please watch the Present Value newsletter and blog for updates and opportunities to visit the new location—the home of Washington CPAs.
