The Evergreen Cabin, proud member of our recently completed Beach Camp Neighborhood, has recently become the first LEED© Platinum certified home at Seabrook!

The Evergreen Cabin is now one of only 125 LEED© certified homes in Washington State, and the only one in Seabrook, the city of Pacific Beach, and Grays Harbor County.

LEED© Certification is an internationally accepted standard that measures the sustainability of a building. There are two types of LEED© certification – residential and commercial. For each type of LEED© certification, there are multiple levels that a building can achieve: silver, gold, and the highest one – platinum. The Evergreen Cabin has reached the highest sustainability level for a residential home, which is quite outstanding!

As Seabrook’s most energy-efficient beach house, the Evergreen Cabin is a prime example of Seabrook’s commitment towards sustainable real estate development in the Pacific Northwest. Our homeowners are passionate about preserving the nature and truly believe in real-estate sustainability – which is what Seabrook has been about since its beginning.

For all the information on how the Evergreen Cabin achieved their Platinum LEED© Certification, read the press release featured in the rest of this article.
