Starting with last week’s Beach Camp Cottage neighborhood preview, the Seabrook Blog will feature weekly updates on the fast-moving progress around Seabrook. Today, we take a quick glance at the Compass Park cottages, located South of the North Alder Cottage Court.

The four beach houses comprising this sunny Compass Park corner are an ideal mix of size, design, and location. Each Compass Park cottage is about 1,500 sq.ft. with an attached garage (a new facet of Seabrook) and natural cedar shingles. A second story walkout balcony faces South, making the front of the house one of the warmest and most desirable places to soak up the sun.

Inside, the houses welcome you through a porch to an open floor plan – this truly captures the feeling of being at the beach. Three bedrooms on the top floor circle a media/family room.

Three of the four houses have already been sold and two are currently under construction. The first homeowners are expecting to move in during the middle of March and are very excited for their beach house to be completed. And you know what? So are we!

Which part of town would you prefer, the Beach Camp Cottages or Compass Park? Let us know in the comments below, and make sure to check back next week for our oceanfront Northwest Glen neighborhood update!

The beautiful Washington Coast is an inspiration to many in the Pacific Northwest. While some are inspired to capture nature’s beauty through the camera lens, others try and recreate it on a blank canvas. Luis Mestas, the founder of Lighthouse Ballet Academy here in North Beach, has recently sparked a unique interest in ballet among the locals at Seabrook and Pacific Beach. So many kids enjoyed the ballet lessons that he is now holding a weekly ballet class at Pacific Beach Elementary!

Luis Mestas’ bio includes a masters degrees in education and teaching experience in the Los Angeles school system. He has studied in Russia, Latvia, and Estonia, and has performed with the Pasadena Dance Theater, the Asian American, Ballet company, and Marat Daukayev School of Ballet in LA. He is also a good friend of Arthur Egeli, a nationally recognized artist that moved to Seabrook recently.

Arthur is, in fact, working on an art piece of his own at the moment. He is in the process of completing his second mural – both will be hanging beside the entrance to Lil’s Pantry, Seabrook’s grocery store. Arthur’s work will be welcoming visitors to Seabrook since the Lil’s Pantry market is located at the beginning of Seabrook’ entrance, just across the street from the oceanfront Northwest Glen neighborhood.

To see some action pictures from the ballet class, check out the slideshow below. If you want to find out more about signing up for ballet class or other similar events at Seabrook, check out our events page, or give us a call at (877) 779-9990.

Seabrook’s Beach Camp Cottage neighborhood, featuring ten cabins representing true Olympic Peninsula travel traditions, is now completely sold out after a happy family from Seattle purchased the last remaining cottage.

In just over six months, all ten beach cabins were quickly gobbled up, and most of the homeowners are already moving in. This popular part of Seabrook will have all the expected modern day conveniences, yet include casual detailing inside and out for a true “cabin camping” experience. Some of the new homeowners have already signed up for the Seabrook Cottage Rentals vacation rental program. This way, the beauty of these little jewels can soon be experienced by everyone.

The cottages will be accessed through a rustic National Park Style-inspired archway and will encircle an intimate grassed park area. The park will be outfitted with a neighborhood rock boulder campfire ring, log benches, outdoor barbeques, and a sprinkling of native forest shrubs and wildflowers. Work on all of these details will begin shortly after all the houses are completed.

As we close the curtains on the Beach Camp Cottage neighborhood, another small part of town is emerging as the place to be for 2010. Lily Walk, our newest neighborhood addition, has to be the cutest and most affordable way to create memories at the beach here at Seabrook. Click here to see detailed homeplans of the houses in Lily Walk!

Last weekend, Seabrook was overtaken by a gloomy, spooky, and incredibly fun Halloween fever! After the trick-or-treating livened up the town, it was time for the grown-ups to dress and impress with their creative costumes! The 80’s Prom Theme turned out to be an instant hit, and we have all the pictures right here on the Seabrook Blog!

The party started at the Sales office where everyone got together for the first impressions. Hairs were flowing, neon colors were shining, and the 80’s theme seemed to have easily hit the hearts of many. (more…)

Last weekend, the 3rd Annual Seabrook Fun Run took place on Washington Coast’s sandy beaches and we have all the pictures for you right here! On a perfect day, the sunshine and the easy 5K course was more than a motivation for all the participants to enjoy their time by the ocean.

Despite its relaxed character, the Fun Run still awarded the winners. Of the gentlemen, Cole Glover from Sammamish won first place for the second year in a row, while David Krueger came up second. For the ladies, Rebecca Hardenbrook from Stanwood was the fastest with Noel Burt just behind her heels. Congratulations to this year’s fastest runners, hope they can achieve this success again next year!

If you’re looking for a reason (like there aren’t a bunch already) to be at Seabrook this weekend, Seabrook’s Child Bike Parade will be taking over the town and is guaranteed to be a mesmerizing one. But for more on that, check back tomorrow…

At the end of June, all the families at Seabrook came out to enjoy a fun day at Crescent Park full of games and laughter. Little kids were zipping by finishing gunny-sack relays in record times while their parents struggled to keep up with the pace. Some played ping-pong, others attempted badminton, and some just enjoyed the sunshine. But it wasn’t until tug of war came around when the adults showed off their true strength in pulling, slipping, growling, funny-face-making, and everything else you can imagine happening at such a face-off.

The best part is that we have it all on camera. An exclusive, all-encompassing slideshow is at your fingertips with the click of a mouse. And there is always something fun to do at Seabrook. This last weekend the third annual Fun Run took place and the weather could not have been more perfect! For more on how the run went and who the winners were, check back later this week as we will have it all right here at the Seabrook Blog.

We upload all the pictures on our flickr website so stop by anytime and throw a glance at what is happening at Seabrook. If you were lucky enough to be out on the coast, maybe you will be in one of the photos. This weekend we are making beachy arts and crafts at the park. Next week the glorious children’s bike parade will rule our beach town. Until then, however, browse our sets and galleries for the best out of Seabrook!

As the summer is slowly progressing into its final stages, sales at Seabrook could not be moving at a faster pace! People have been visiting Seabrook’s Sales Office in record numbers which has led to a big wave of sales!

Click on the image below to see the full list of sales and closings that have been made so far in 2009. The list is going to grow, however, so check back on our blog for the latest updates on Seabrook’s growth.

Last weekend Seabrook hosted Doggie Days – a fun event mingling dogs and their owners for a leisurely parade around town. Over 25 adorable dogs of all breeds and sizes gathered at Crescent Park dressed in the latest (dog) fashion to kick off a fun day of picture taking, parading, and playing fetch.

And while all the dogs looked spectacular, one lucky puppy was chosen a winner and took home a 5″x7″ profesionally taken picture under the Crescent Park tent. Sadie, a black lab from Seattle, was crowned the day’s champion much to her owner’s pleasure, Becky McAuley.

Professional photographer Morgan Miller did the honors and took pictures not just of Sadie, but of all the other dogs present to enjoy a wonderful weekend at Seabrook. For more pictures of the event, we have created a special slideshow for your pleasure. Just click on this link and re-live Seabrook’s Doggie Days Parade through the lens!
