Location: Sequim, Washington State, USA (Close to Port Townsend, Port Angeles, and Victoria , B.C.) View Map

"Lighthouse Manor" is a newer, beautiful, 3-bedroom, two-story home right on the beach of Dungeness Bay (on the Straits of Juan de Fuca). You cannot get closer to the water (unless, of course, you jump in!)
Watch the cruise ships, cargo ships and even submarines cruise through the glorious Straits of Juan de Fuca. Gawk at the spectacular views of Mt. Baker, the lights of Victoria B.C., and the New Dungeness Lighthouse. Bald eagles, otters, deer and seals are regular visitors.
As if these ocean vistas were not enough for your eyes, the opposite side of our home faces the majestic Olympic mountains. You will see some of the most spectacular sunsets over these snow-capped jewels.
Sequim (pronounced "skwim") offers so many great activities and attractions:
* Dungeness Spit (for those folks up for a great hike) (10 min); * Lavender Farms galore (5 min); * Olympic Game Farm (5 min); * Ferry across the Straits to Victoria B.C. (30 min); * Hurricane Ridge (40 min); * Local kayaking tours (5 min); * Fishing and crabbing on site); * Several nice golf courses (10 min); * Shopping (15 min); * John Wayne Marina (15 min); * Port Angeles Airport (30 min); * Port Townsend (30 min); * Seattle (1.5 hrs) * Victoria B.C. (1.5 hr)
You won't run out of things to do.
But you may just want to sit on the beach all day and soak in the views and the salt air.
The town of Sequim (15 minute drive from the beach house) has quaint shops as well as grocery stores and many restaurants. For those planning to stay for a while, there is even a Costco and a WalMart just 15 minutes away. Starbucks, QFC, Home Depot, etc. They're all here.
Sequim has the lowest rainfall in the Puget Sound region. Less than 14 inches a year!!! It has been named "the blue hole" by airplane pilots as it is usually visible from the skies above despite the rest of the area being cloudy. Sequim boasts a large retirement community because of the weather, golf and proximity to so many nearby attractions.
Many people use Sequim as a home base to explore Washington's glorious Olympic Peninsula and Victoria BC, Canada.
Golfing is popular in Sequim as well. Lighthouse Manor makes a great home base for golfers who want to hit the links during the day and relax on the beach at night. During those long winter months while Seattle golf courses are being soaked with rain, Sequim has several golf courses that remain very playable due to the area's low annual rainfall.
"Seven-Cedars Casino" is in Sequim and offers great recreation, music and food.

Map & Owner's Profile
Lighthouse Manor - Executive Beach House - No Bank Waterfront
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Sequim
We have always loved the north coast of Washington State. It is beautiful. Sequim was especially appealing as it only gets about 14" of rainfall per year due to its location in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains. We bought our piece of waterfront land in 2000 and built our home soon after.
The Unique Benefits at this Waterfront Home
We love the no-bank waterfront. Sitting in the house, you can feel like you are in a houseboat at times. The kids love to play on the beach, of course. The views are the most spectacular! The Olympic Mountains rise from the foothills in the front of the house, and the Straits of Juan de Fuca are on the other side. Few places on planet earth have mountains this high seemingly rising out of the sea. Since there are no public beaches on our street, we enjoy unparalleled quiet and tranquility.
One can sit for hours and watch the cruise ships, cargo ships and even submarines cruise through this amazing body of water. Bald eagles, seals and otters are also frequent guests.
Owner's Map of Sequim
Here we are enjoying another beautiful sunset at Lighthouse Manor in Sequim, Washington. Our "home away from home" where many great family memories have been made.
My wife and I have traveled all over Washington State to enjoy its beautiful scenery and dramatically varying landscapes. Of all the places we had found and made our special vacation spots, Sequim was the one to which we most often returned. It became our dream to buy waterfront property in Sequim and build a summer home. Lighthouse Manor became the fruition of that dream.
