It’s Best to Invest
Well, I’ve hyped Washington quite enough for one week. I think it’s pretty clear that this state is one of the nation’s very best in terms of beautiful land, kind, smart people, and quality of life. So now would be the time to talk about the rewards of your decision to invest in the land of this great state.
First: high return. At the moment (as you may have noticed), the market is hurtin’. Foreclosed plots are at record highs and folks are looking to sell land as laughably low prices. As you also may have noticed, this are getting—albeit, slowly—better. Now would be the very best time to snap up land. If you’re looking to resell later on, buying at these prices is a sure deal. If you’re interested in building, land value will only increase and property tax is, at the moment, still quite low.
Second: growth. Washington’s economy is growing rapidly, as is its population. Cities like Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Bellingham, and more are experiencing new waves of development. You would be moving onto land that will be soon in high demand.
Finally: access. I’ve already stated the fact that Washington residents will likely never have trouble accessing water, but the access I’m referring to now is expansion. If one were to buy now, they would likely have room to grow on their own land. Land Central has many options for sparsely populated rural lands. And if one so wished, they would be able to grow without having to move.
So many choices! So little time…

Washington Profile: Northwest Region
King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Skagit counties, along with others, make up Washinton’s Northwest region—the beauty of which is unrivaled. With the San Juan Islands to the west and the Mt. Baker and Wenatchee National Forests to the east, the possibilities for adventure are limitless. If you’re looking to invest in land, Washington offers some of the most spectacular views and fertile soil in the nation. And oh, water is never scarce.
While the Pacific Northwest has quite a reputation for rain, consider the following: rain fuels life. The flora and fauna in Northwest Washington is not to be ignored when looking to purchase land. The purity of and respect for the environment is what makes Washington so special.

Washington, Huh?
Searching for unparalleled access to the outdoors? Enjoy a glass of local wine after a day of hiking through lush wilderness? Love discovering new local treasures every day? You’ve come to the right place.
As a four year veteran of calling this state home, I can say that Washington’s “Evergreen” title is justified. Forest covers much if not most of the state and the ecological effects are palpable. The state is highly aware of the role it plays in lowering our national carbon footprint and therefore is active in many statewide programs to protect our wildlife and natural resources, control air quality, and make roads more accessible for bicyclists, among many others.
With the Cascade Range and the Olympics, the phrase “I’m bored” simply does not exist in Washington’s vocabulary. Looking to settle down? Washington is a fantastic place to raise a family. Teach the next generation about the importance of being stewards to the land by taking a trip to one of the regions’ popular destinations: discover Snoqualmie Falls, hike Mount Reiner, or marvel at the stunning beauty of the San Juan Islands.
Is relaxing in style more your speed? During the past several decades, the state has become world renowned for its wines and varietals. Check out the Puget Sound and indulge in some of Seattle famous cutting edge cuisine.
But what makes Washington truly special is the people. The Northwest has that special characteristic, difficult to describe, but ever present: Washington folks care greatly about the land in which they live. If you’re in search of clean air, rich soil, delicious wine, craft breweries, incredible mountains, and breathtaking views, Washington is the place for you.
