One of the absolute best things about traveling around the country like we do, is the unexpected things, that we often blindly stumble upon. About mid day yesterday, we drove into Ocean Shores to pick up our forwarded mail, and in the process, we stopped at the tourist information building. The gal inside was very helpful, pointing out several things that might be of interest to us. One such attraction, was the brand new town of Seabrook, about 20 minutes north of Ocean Shores on Hwy 109.
We drove back to the motor home, dropped the mail, and then continued north on Hwy 109 past the small community of Copalis Beach to Seabrook. This is a brand new community, based on higher density residential, surrounded by masses of open spaces and trail systems, woven with retail, parks, and art. The pictures that I took, only show a glimpse of this new, small town, and it's story book impression. We didn't stop to inquire about prices or availability, because this type of real estate doesn't fit into our lifestyle. But, it was easy to see, that this community would be very attractive to a lot of folks, as either a primary residence, or, as a beach vacation home. If you didn't know you were on the west coast, it would be easy to picture this community on the opposite side of the country, with it's Cape Cod, New England, architectural style homes.
When we returned to the motor home, it was mid afternoon, and time to go through the mail. We have it forwarded about every two weeks, and our friends Bill, Linda, and Nancy, at Havasu Mail & Package have done a super great job for us during these past 8 years. The weather has been overcast since we arrived here on the WA Coast, with temps in the low 60's. I'm loving the cool days, but a little bit of sunshine wouldn't hurt my feelings.
