MERCER ISLAND -- Once owned by former KIRO CEO Kenneth Hatch, the 15K sq. ft. Mercer mansion that just hit the market asking $26.8M is the 2nd most-expensive King County listing out there right now. Naturally it comes with a movie theater, tea room, tap room, massive wine cellar, sports pavilion with squash court and it's very own putting green. Curbed has photos over here.
