A Personal Preference…
Most Washington locals will not argue that this is absolutely the best time of the year to be Pacific Northwesterner. Fresh Hood strawberries, blueberries, marionberries, and a host of greens and stone fruit absolutely cover the landscape, as the sun not only awakens the soil but our collective spirits. And with so much Washington land for sale, how could you let this incredible state go unexplored? Now is the time, ladies and gents, to further your research and investigate just why this region of the country is projected to grow so quickly over the next 20 or so years (and beyond). With so much diversity in the land—from the coast, to the cascades, from the forests to the deserts—Washington land is unique and becoming more and more coveted.
Let’s face it—the air quality here, with the region’s seasonal rains and lush forests, is simply superior. In searching for your perfect acreage of Washington land, it is helpful, so as not to get overwhelmed, to choose your ideal region. Yakima Valley? Tri-Cities? Puget Sound? The rocks and cliffs of the spectacular coastline? Consider the pros and cons of each area and write down what is most important to you. Once this has been determined, you’re far better equipped to begin your search in earnest. Land Central has many plots of Washington land for sale—all you have to do is choose the parcel that is right for you and yours.
Disclaimer: I never once claimed to be unbiased when it came to preaching my love for the Northwest. It is by far the most beautiful place in the world and I believe—this is a personal statement here, folks—that you’re crazy if, during your search for the perfect slice of land for you and your family, you overlook this amazing region. But hey, don’t take my word for it…

The Washington Coast
One of the joys of living in a state with such varied wildlife and scenery is the access to the coast. Sure, the mountains, rivers, rolling hills, vineyards, gorges and plains are all well and good, but one hasn’t fully experienced the awesome beauty of Washington until they’ve taken a trip to the coast.
For centuries, Washington’s livelihood has been focused on fishing. The harbors are home to numerous fishing villages, largely unchanged for decades. These villages and towns rest atop jagged cliffs where the waves crash and carve out the coastline. The fisherman haul in catches of Tuna, Sturgeon, and Salmon, among many others. And let’s never forget the bounty of fresh Razor Clams that come from the region. The freshness and availability of the seafood is only a tiny part of what makes Washington’s western region so special.
The native peoples of this region were settled, which means that were able to create a rich history rooted in the place. This culture is still alive and vibrant today, with Washingtonians fiercely proud of their heritage and traditions.
If you interested in the investing in land in Washington’s western half, take a visit up the coast. Talk to the local merchants and fishermen, and see what they have to say about what makes Washington a special and beautiful place to call home.
