We have over 250 miles of saltwater shoreline, kayaking, hiking, the Olympic National Park day trips, and year-round outdoor adventure. A scenic 35-minute ferry ride connects you to Seattle's world-class arts, dining, sports, and culture.  Our region offers a lower cost of living than Seattle and has very strong school systems; school districts are consistently rated among the top in Washington State.
