5 Washington Waterfront Homes and Luxe Retreats on the Water

Along the water’s edge on the banks of the Columbia River, this single-level Northwestern-style home pairs more than 400 feet of frontage with access to a shared dock for an easy riverfront rhythm. Thoughtfully landscaped grounds unfold through winding paths, gardens, lush plantings, and a tranquil water feature, drawing you toward the shoreline. Inside, high ceilings and large picture windows frame river views from nearly every room. The kitchen is both functional and refined, centered around a large island with a gas cooktop, stainless steel appliances, and panoramic water outlooks. Living and family rooms offer generous space to unwind, with a gas fireplace anchoring the living room. The primary suite feels quietly restorative, featuring oversized river-facing windows and an updated bath with a tiled shower, double sinks, solid-surface countertops, and a walk-in closet. A covered riverside patio, kayak and paddle board launch path, fenced grassy area, shed, two-car garage, RV hookup, and abundant parking complete the setting for days paced by water and wildlife.

Set on a fully fenced half-acre in Tukwila, this light-filled residence is thoughtfully designed for comfort across multiple levels. Hardwood floors ground the main level, where a junior suite adds flexibility for guests or everyday living. At the center, a chef’s kitchen is equipped with a gas range, double convection ovens, and two dishwashers—details that make cooking and hosting feel effortless. Upstairs, bedrooms are paired with private ensuites, offering privacy and an easy rhythm to daily routines. The expansive walkout basement broadens the home’s possibilities with a rec room, den, a second kitchen setup, and abundant storage. Outside, a deck extends the living space, while outbuildings and sprinklers support a well-organized outdoor setting. A 3-car garage and great commute access round out the experience.

Along the water’s edge in Tukwila, this gated, park-like estate pairs serene river living with built-in income and future flexibility.

Mature landscaping and river views create a true sense of retreat—remarkably close to the city.

Set on five private acres in Sequim, this remodeled water-view residence balances scale with a calm, crafted palette. Towering windows pull in abundant natural light, spotlighting wainscoting, substantial baseboard trim, and painted wood ceilings detailed with oversized beams for a clean, natural feel. The large great room flows to a chef’s kitchen anchored by a 6-burner Kucht range, while an electric fireplace with a wood surround adds warmth and definition. Three bedroom suites include a generously sized primary framed by big views and paired with a spa-like bathroom. Downstairs, the third suite is joined by two large living rooms and a flexible bonus space suited to changing needs. Practical touches include a huge, no-step garage with epoxy floors, central vac, on-demand hot water, and a generator-ready setup—reached by a private driveway that underscores the home’s rare sense of privacy.

Along the water’s edge, this peaceful retreat pairs tranquil bay views with rare no-bank access—ideal for clamming, crabbing, or simply launching a kayak straight from shore. Inside, picture windows keep the waterfront close at hand, shifting the mood with the light and tide.

Outdoor living is equally considered, with decks and a patio that invite long meals, morning coffee, or quiet reading between salt-air breezes. A new hot tub adds an easy ritual at day’s end. The private primary suite offers a sense of separation and ease, while the location keeps you minutes from Roche Harbor and nearby trails—well suited to unhurried days shaped by water and woods.
