Where to Build a Cabin Outside of Seattle
Washington State is home to a diverse range of landscapes, from coastal rainforests to prairies to wetlands. Whether you own a piece of land that’s ready to develop or you’re still in the planning phase, here are some of the most popular places to build a log cabin outside of Seattle.
Columbia Plateau
This unique geologic region sits in a river basin surrounded by steep valleys and mountains. It’s a spectacular area that’s ideal if you love wild, open country where you can hunt, fish, and spend time on the water. The Tri Cities area of Pasco-Richland-Kennewick, WA has everything you need for work, school, and entertainment.
Kettle Falls
Just a 90-minute drive north of Spokane, Kettle Falls is a popular spot for anglers, thanks to its proximity to the Columbia River. Living in the Kettle Falls area gives you easy access to Colville National Forest, boasting more than a million acres of forest and wild rivers to explore.
Yakima/Ellensburg
If you’re looking to build closer to Tacoma–Seattle–Everett, consider Yakima or Ellensburg. These right-sized riverside towns in the heart of Central Washington give you easy access to the Eastern Cascades but are much more affordable than cities and towns on Puget Sound.
Other popular spots for a log cabin in Washington State include Leavenworth, a charming Bavarian-style village in the Cascades, and Walla Walla, the state’s breadbasket and wine country.
