Jim Clarke, formerly president of Seattle Coffee Co., and his wife Kathy Clarke, formerly an Ackerley Communications sales executive, have agreed to buy the John L. Scott Real Estate residential office in Anacortes from Martha Clure. The Clarkes, who operate under the business name of Clarkeland Properties, plan to continue operating the office as a John L. Scott affiliate. The Clarkes recently moved from Seattle to Anacortes. Clure has owned and managed the office since 1995, and she'll continue to be affiliated with the new organization. She worked as an agent and broker for 28 years before she started the Anacortes office. "The Clarkes bring an especially strong marketing and management component to this business," Clure said. "They also have a great deal of love and respect for the area ... these were important factors in making the final decision to sell the business."

Mark Johnston, meanwhile, moved up to managing broker for John L. Scott's Magnolia office. Johnston has worked for the residential agency since 1990 selling homes in the Kirkland office. Things should swing in the Magnolia office now. "Apart from real estate, Johnston is very involved in swing dance, competing in national level competitions across the U.S.," John L. Scott said. "He is also the past president of the Seattle Swing Dance Club, which is the oldest established club of its kind in the country."
