Lowell Parker

Advisor, CFP®

I’m Lowell Parker, a Wealth Advisor for Merriman Wealth Management. This website is designed to help Northwest physicians navigate the complexities of financial planning. Here, I will tackle financial topics that range from residency to retirement, debt to legacy. I will dive into holistic planning within specific benefit menus. I will pull in experts from other fields. Together we will tackle wealth enhancement, wealth transfer, wealth protection, charitable planning and wealth preservation. I hope you find value in it. 

My practice focuses on retirement income and goal-based planning for physicians and their families. A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ born and raised in Washington State, I graduated from the University of Washington with a bachelor’s degree in economics. I enjoy reading, playing the guitar, running and spending time with my wife, two children and friends. I am also actively involved in Boyer Children’s Clinic, a therapy center in Seattle that helps children with neuromuscular disorders and developmental delays.  

I love having the chance to work with my clients to help them achieve their goals. In particular, I really enjoy getting to work with a variety of doctors and professionals in the medical industry. Coming from a medical family, I know the challenges that doctors face when managing their careers and financial goals. Having the chance to partner with physicians and provide some peace of mind around their finances is really rewarding.
