THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
Happy Valley is a pastoral oasis with a mix of homesites, farms, and wooded hillsides. The home is located in a quiet commuity with paved roads for your walking or biking exploration. A nice jogging loop takes you from the house through forested Lakeview Drive and back. Or venture out on bike to Happy Valley Road and be at the beach at Sequim Bay State Park beaches in less than 30 minutes. Access the Olympic Discovery Trail in downtown Sequim just a 20 minute bike ride away.
It feels like you are a world away, but this home is just a short drive from all Sequim’s many activities: local restaurants and shops, lavender farms, Dungeness Spit, Olympic Discovery Trail, the Olympic Game Farm, and more. The Olympic National Park Visitor Center is 30-minutes away. There are plenty of family friendly activities available nearby, though exploring the property or sitting and relaxing may be more enticing!
If arriving by ferry are just an hour drive from the Kingston terminal and less than 1.5 hours to the Bainbridge ferry terminal.
