5 Pacific Northwest Waterfront Retreats and Secluded Acreage Estates in Washington
Across Washington, a quintet of residences puts nature at the center of daily life, whether on Orcas Island’s walkout waterfront, above the Snoqualmie River’s high bank, or overlooking Puget Sound toward Mount Rainier and Tacoma. Others trade shoreline for acreage, including a Peter Bohlin–designed home on 28 secluded acres near Cle Elum and a nearly 60-acre Blaine estate wrapped around an 8-acre private lake with salmon-spawning headwaters. In each, light-filled volumes and purposeful privacy shape the retreat.
