June 11, 2026 (Bellevue, WA)<\/strong> \u2013 Lee & Associates Pacific Northwest<\/a> announced today the appointment of Scott Hutchinson as president, effective June 8, 2026. Hutchinson joins Lee & Associates from Glacier Development Company (GDP) and Schuchart Hutchinson, where he serves as president.<\/p>\n

Hutchinson succeeds Jim Bowles<\/a>, co-founder of Lee & Associates Pacific Northwest, who has served as company president since the firm's Seattle launch in 2017. Bowles will transition to the role of co-founder and executive managing director, focusing on strategic company initiatives and business development.<\/p>\n

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Hutchinson is a well-regarded figure in both the regional commercial real estate community and the broader philanthropic landscape. His family's legacy of civic commitment is exemplified by his grandfather, Dr. William Hutchinson, who founded the globally recognized Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle. In his new role, he will oversee the day-to-day management and strategic growth of the firm's commercial brokerage operations across Washington state.<\/p>\n

\n

\"The co-founders and 14 local partners have built a truly exceptional organization, one that combines the resources and reach of a major national firm with the ownership culture and entrepreneurial spirit of a locally driven enterprise,\u201d said Hutchinson. \u201cIt's the best of both worlds, and I'm eager to get started.\"<\/p>\n

\"Transitioning to a role where I can remain engaged with company and industry initiatives while sourcing brokerage business for our team has been a long-term goal of mine,\" said Bowles. \"I'm genuinely looking forward to this next chapter. Having worked with Scott previously, I'm confident he is the right leader at the right time to take the helm at Lee.\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A longtime commercial brokerage industry veteran, Bowles brings more than 40 years of industry leadership experience, having previously served as regional manager for Cushman & Wakefield, Colliers, and CBRE before co-founding Lee & Associates Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n

\n

\"As co-founding partners, Jim, Chris, and I worked closely with our stakeholders to identify the right leader for this next chapter,\u201d said Lee & Associates Pacific Northwest co-founder Richard Peterson<\/a>. \u201cLee & Associates is a distinctive platform, one that offers our brokers opportunities not found at other firms, and that required us to be equally deliberate in our search.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peterson added, \u201cWe are confident we have found someone with the leadership qualities and strategic vision to accelerate our market share growth and elevate our standing in the industry. After nearly a decade of building a strong foundation, we could not be more pleased with the person we have chosen to lead us forward.\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
