5 Washington Waterfront and View Homes from Anacortes to Bellevue

Along the water’s edge on Biz Point in Anacortes, this iconic custom-built waterfront estate by Herbert Clifford Pearson draws inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright’s organic architecture, settling into a 2.1-acre, park-like setting of old-growth cedars and a year-round creek. Sheltered behind Biz Point, it opens to storm-protected views of Burrows Bay, the San Juan Islands, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Inside, a geometric plan built on triangular modules—virtually no right angles—maximizes space and marine outlooks. Solid redwood walls, rare tropical Parota wood ceilings, and 36 tons of locally quarried Fidalgo rock anchor two massive fireplaces, while eleven oversized skylights wash the open layout with light. The kitchen pairs copper countertops with Sub-Zero refrigeration and an expansive workspace. Outdoors, 2,000+ square feet of aggregate patio leads to 120± feet of shoreline, seasonal boat mooring, and exclusive pier access.

Along the Lake Washington shoreline in Renton’s Kennydale, this modern residence pairs sweeping water views with an easy, everyday layout just minutes from Bellevue and Seattle.

The kitchen centers on a massive island and flows naturally into the main gathering areas. A main-floor bedroom suite adds flexibility, joined by a dedicated home office and additional flex spaces. Upstairs, the primary suite opens to a private balcony with city views, alongside two more bedrooms and a loft. Downstairs, a finished daylight basement expands the experience with a media room, game room, and comfortable guest accommodations. Air conditioning and a large garage round out a home built for relaxed hosting and quiet retreat alike.

Along the water’s edge on Harstine Island, this private haven pairs an exquisite main home with a guest cottage and 100 feet of beach with bulkhead and tidelands. A grand entrance opens to sweeping views of the Sound from every main room, setting an easy rhythm for daily life and entertaining. The chef’s kitchen features a bar, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, flowing naturally to a patio grill and an outdoor kitchen with seating—an inviting spot for sunsets, water, and wildlife. The spacious primary suite offers French doors to the patio and a five-piece ensuite with a jacuzzi bath and shower. With room to share with guests, generations, or AirBNB, it’s a setting designed for long weekends and memorable stays.

From its elevated North Capitol Hill setting, this tri-level contemporary is designed around a central staircase, balancing a compound-like sense of privacy with open, connected flow. Views unfold from every level through expansive windows—taking in the lake, park, and mountain outlook. The ground floor introduces a cozy reading nook, bedroom, laundry, a large storage room, and a flexible bonus space. Upstairs, a stylish northwest contemporary kitchen anchors the dining and generous living area, where a wood-burning fireplace and balcony extend the day outdoors, alongside a full bath and a generously sized bedroom. The top level is reserved for the primary suite with walk-in closet, en-suite bath, lounge area, and its own balcony. An elevator rises to a rooftop deck for sunrise and sunset views from Mount Baker to Mount Rainier, across Lake Washington and the Arboretum.

From its elevated Woodridge setting in Bellevue, this reimagined daylight rambler is designed to live large. Natural light moves through soothing colors, buttery hardwood floors, sleek modern lines, and rich finishes, anchoring a true great-room layout.
