Outgoing president Pete Gomes of Windermere Real Estate South in Auburn received the Realtor of the Year award. Gomes retired from the Army in 1969, then from Boeing in 1990, when he went into home selling. During his year as association president, the group added more new members than in any other year, and it helped a statewide Real Estate Safety Council. Gomes and his wife of 51 years, both from Hawaii, have eight children, 16 grandchildren and one great grandchild.
The association honored Beverly Read of Windermere's Lake Forest Park office with its Realtor Achievement award. Philip Matricardi of Coldwell Banker Bain in Seattle was government affairs volunteer of the year. Mary Ann Vandergriff of Windermere-Fauntleroy received the community service award.
Peggy Long of Pro-Spec Home Inspections in Auburn was named affiliate of the year. Affiliate community service went to Sue Tarabochia of First American Title in Seattle. The Fremont Public Association took the Pacesetter Award, while the President's Award went to Roni Strupat of Windermere Real Estate South's referral services in Federal Way.
