The Area
A gateway to the Pacific Northwest's most distinctive coastline โ where ferries cut through glassy water, forests meet the sea, and every neighborhood has its own character.
Boutique shops, galleries, and waterfront dining โ the heart of island life, steps from the ferry terminal.
Mixed neighborhoods from historic homes near town to newer builds with views of Mount Baker and the surrounding channels.
Short ferry rides to Orcas, San Juan, and Lopez โ each offering remote beaches, whale-watching, and a slower pace.
Higher-elevation homes with panoramic views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains.
Testimonials
Linda-Rae made what we thought would be a stressful process feel straightforward and even enjoyable. She knew the market, priced our home correctly, and negotiated on our behalf with confidence. We couldn't have asked for better representation.
Moving to the islands from the mainland was a big change. Linda-Rae took the time to help us understand each neighborhood, showed us properties that matched what we were looking for, and never rushed us. We found our home because of her guidance.
What stood out most was how honest and patient Linda-Rae was throughout the entire process. She gave us real answers, not just what we wanted to hear. That integrity made all the difference.
