Cle Elum has rapidly become one of Washington’s most exciting growth areas—and at Juniper Capital we’re staying ahead of the curve by lending into these markets that are defining the region’s next chapter.
A recent Wall Street Journal article highlights how tech professionals from Amazon, Microsoft, and beyond are fueling a surge in demand for homes in Cle Elum and nearby Roslyn. Once a quiet mountain town, the area has become a magnet for both second-home and full-time buyers. Just 90 minutes from Seattle, Cle Elum offers year-round recreation—golf, hiking, skiing, and lake access—making it an ideal destination for those seeking space without sacrificing access to the city. With new listings up more than 14% year-over-year, the market shows no signs of slowing.
Our recent $20.5 million refinance of a major master-planned community in Cle Elum exemplifies how we stay current and relevant in an evolving lending landscape. The project—set for sale to a national homebuilder—underscores the region’s growing appeal and investor confidence in its long-term potential. This deal highlights our ability to move quickly, structure flexible solutions, and bring deep regional insight to markets often beyond the reach of traditional lenders.
Lifestyle-driven demand is reshaping where people choose to live, and Cle Elum is a prime example of growth expanding beyond urban centers. Our private lending platform gives developers, investors, and borrowers the speed and flexibility to capture these opportunities.
At Juniper Capital, we’re proud to help finance the next wave of growth in one of Washington’s most dynamic markets.
