Fire up your clam guns everybody – it is time to go clam digging! The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) gave the approval for a 3-day evening razor-clam dig bonanza! Starting today, you have the chance to hunt razor clams for three days at our very own Seabrook beach. Strap on those muck boots anytime between noon and midnight and have some fun by the ocean!

For your information, the Pacific razor clam (Siliqua patula) is found along beaches from California to Alaska. In Washington, the biggest you’ll get is about six inches long. They are exceptionally meaty and delicious for clam chowder, breaded and sautéed, or prepared in curries.

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 weren’t at Seabrook last weekend, or just want to recap the scenic jog, hit this link and watch the Flickr slideshow we just uploaded.

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…

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!

Summer has officially arrived and the sun is making the Norhtwest look more gorgeous than ever. While everyone is seeking for a good getaway spot to relax and recharge, two widely respected and distributed magazines, Seattle Magazine and AAA Journey, featured Seabrook in their latest issues as the (Pacific Northwest) ultimate beach destination for this summer.

Kate Calamusa from the Seattle Magazine spent a weekend at Seabrook enjoying a complete beach town experience with her husband. With the 4th of July just around the corner, she previews Seabrook’s unique way of celebrating independence day for anyone interested in unwinding on the coast for the holiday. You can view the text in full by simply clicking here.

But the Seabrook hype doesn’t stop there. Washington State’s “youngest little place by the sea” (as they call it) was the main departure destination recommended by the AAA Journey in their most recent issue of the bimonthly magazine. What over 1,200,000 readers could see in the print edition of Journey, you can now exclusively see online by following this link!

Is enjoying the summer out at Seabrook really A Shore Thing? Well, over 300 nature enthusiasts have already decided to spend July and August playing in the waves. Plus, Seattle Magazine and AAA definitely seem to think so. And we all know how reliable AAA is!

You have to take advantage of the cherished Northwestern sunshine! Whether you want to Sea’s The Day, take your Sweetheart on a Moon Dance, or have a Whale of an Adventure, be sure to visit our Seabrook Cottage Rentals website to reserve your place by the ocean for this summer.
