[@ericsimonson5852]

Not a bad place--for a newer community it is pretty nice. That being said you can get property for a lot less on the southern Washington coast--Long Beach isn't as new or shiny but for people who are retired or work from home I think it is a better choice.

[@LivinginWesternWashington425]

I agree. Long Beach is great. The only difference is drive time from Seattle for a lot of people. It’s less than 3 hours to Seabrook. If my memory serves me right there is a lot of horse riding/ equestrian areas in Long Beach?

[@courtneyinsea]

​@@LivinginWesternWashington425 It might be an extra 30 min to drive from Seattle to Long Beach compared to Seabrook, but with Long Beach you also can get to Portland in about 2 hr. Not to mention Long Beach is only 10 min to a hospital in Illwaco and 30 min to major retailers like Fred Meyer and Walmart in Oregon (no sales tax is a nice bonus for the weekly shopping too), whereas with Seabrook you're going to have to drive to 45 min into Aberdeen to get to fill basic needs. I guess it depends on individual lifestyle preferences, but for me Seabrook is ridiculously overpriced for what it's offering.

[@barbarateresarhiannonsreal1756]

It's really nice but yes, costly as well.

They were smaller than I anticipated. There is storage in the garage out back but not a ton in the actual house.

[@stevehunter291]

You might want to correct your written narrative. Seabrook is a 140 mile drive to Seattle not a 3 mile drive. I have visited, it is a Disneyfied version of a seacoast village for reasonably affluent people. .It is overcast or raining about 2/3rds of the year so don't expect getting a tan on the beach.

[@LivinginWesternWashington425]

Steve...Thank you! I am not sure how that got into the script other than me typing late at night. It has been changed! Disneyfied!! That's fairly accurate...and yes, not exactly a place that requires a lot of sunscreen! Thanks again!

I always go to Ocean Park down on the Long Bech Peninsula. I’ve been there twice the summer. Sunshine both times. Still affordable. $50 undeveloped lots or $100 and up for developed lots. One of the only beaches you can still drive on.

[@LivinginWesternWashington425]

I actually sold a really cool house in Ocean Park to some clients of mine . It’s a pretty nice, totally underrated part of Washington. It just takes so much longer to get there from Seattle. Seabrook being less than 3 hours makes it appealing from a drive standpoint. Hope you get down there some more and enjoy your summer!!

[@eric_d4073]

So basically you're just making an advertisement for this community, you're certainly NOT exploring all of the options in that 30 mile stretch of beach !

Tsunami zone

[@LivinginWesternWashington425]

Thanks for your comment Jen. Tsunamis are always something to be worried about on any coast. Seabrook’s Western facing bluffs and elevation above the beach do provide a measure of safety. I can say, from my experience, the walk down to the beach is significant and Seabrook has some elevation. Where they are expanding to the South does not have the same elevation as the main community.

It looks like a beautiful, sunny day along the Washington coast but what's the weather like the rest of the year? How many sunny days does it have? How much rain does it get?

[@LivinginWesternWashington425]

That’s a great couple questions. It’s hit and miss when it comes to the weather anywhere in the PNW. Seabrook gets its fair days of sunshine and the warmest months are July, August and September with temps in the low 70’s. Winter months temps are in the 30-40’s. As is the case with most places near the coast the winds pick up in the afternoon and evenings. It does get its fair share of rain in the winter months. The times I have been to Seabrook the weather has been terrific. There is plenty to do there and it’s a great place to just hang out in any weather. Make sure to try the “Cruffin” at the bakery in town. Thanks for your comment!!

[@wt9653]

As a local, the Winters are not for everyone. The months between November and February are the storm season. There are frequent wind storms exceeding 60 mph. The power goes out with the storms. The rainfall averages are around 80 to 100 inches. Mainly between November through April. July through October is very pleasant.
