The Puget Sound region’s industrial market is continuing to attract investors with the recent sale of a warehouse in Woodinville. The property, known as The Reserve at Woodinville, was purchased by an entity affiliated with CapRock Partners for $34.2 million, or about $214 per square foot, according to King County public records. The seller was an entity that shares an address with Ares Management, an investment management firm.
