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.
