Preserving Shorelines

The County regulates our shoreline areas to preserve them, but that still allows homes to be built on waterfront property.  Some of our parcels are no-bank, and that means beach.  You go straight from your family room to the beach.  Other parcels are medium bank and even high-bank. 

Our entire county has waterfront parcels, from Blyn and Sequim to the east all the way out to Clallam Bay and Sekiu where some of the most gorgeous terrain and beaches are located. 

Waterfront Parcels:

• Have regulated setback from the shoreline

• Include homes and land on the Strait of Juan de Fuca (sea) frontage, river frontage, and even lake frontage

• Vary greatly in topography, trees, location, and even in value, (though waterfront tends to be the priciest).  From Freshwater Bay’s famed micro-climate to the breezy Agnew area of Port Angeles & Sequim

• Afford views of Vancouver Island, The San Juan Islands, Mount Baker, The Cascades, and vast saltwater and shipping lanes

• More likely to have eagle’s nests, eagle’s roosts, and sometimes even protected natural habitats that can restrict when and how you build.

• Offer extraordinary views
