Michael Oaksmith

Michael Oaksmith serves as President of Development for Hunters Capital and President of Hunters Property Holdings. A Seattle native with deep roots in the construction industry, Michael began his career working in his family’s residential construction business before moving into commercial construction as a project manager with Schuchart Corporation.

After founding Blueline Development LLC in 2003 and co-founding Lakeview Development LLC in 2004, Michael developed several residential projects on Capitol Hill before joining Hunters Capital in 2007. Since then, he has led the development of transformative projects, including the historic Dunn Motors Building redevelopment and the completion of Capitol Hilltop Apartments in 2024. Under his leadership, Hunters Capital’s portfolio has expanded from approximately 90,000 square feet to more than 600,000 square feet.

Outside of work, Michael enjoys spending time with his wife, Kieran, and their three children, Beau, Estelle, and Olive. Whether cheering on the Huskies, boating in the Pacific Northwest, or enjoying family weekends at Lake Roosevelt, he remains deeply connected to the Seattle community he has helped shape through his work.
