The 5th Annual Easter Egg Hunt took place last weekend on Crescent park and was truly a great time for everyone there! Around a hundred kids from all over the Pacific Northwest raced around Seabrook’s biggest green grass park hunting for Easter eggs and other small treasures. Three lucky egg hunters found Golden Eggs which were strategically placed in harder to find areas.

The weather looked gloomy right until the point when the Easter egg hunt was supposed to start. Then it cleared up and families with their kids, dogs, egg baskets, and cameras spent a fun couple of hours around the park and around Seabrook. We had many guests staying at some of our vacation rentals, as well as Seabrook homeowners that are by now regulars at these events. Easter Bunny was there too to take pictures with this year’s egg hunters and put everyone in a good mood with his goofy-looking costume.

We have gathered a bunch of pictures from some of the families present at the event, and are posting them here for you in case you couldn’t be there. Once again, Happy Easter to all and we hope to see you at the 6th Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Seabrook next year!

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!

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!
