New Homes in Washington State
LIFE IN A 55+ WASHINGTON COMMUNITY
Washington runs from saltwater inlets and ferry routes in the west to orchard country beyond the Cascades, and the Seattle metro has drawn steady interest from buyers across the region. I-5, I-405, and Highway 167 connect the area to Seattle and Tacoma, with Highway 410 running east toward the mountains.
Here the outdoors turns up in an ordinary week rather than only on vacation. Three national parks sit inside the state's borders, Olympic and Mount Rainier among them, and miles of marine shoreline create opportunities for kayaking, sailing, and whale watching. What the state grows and catches shows up on the table, from Pike Place Market and year-round farmers markets to the orchards and wine country east of the Cascades. The Space Needle, MoPOP, and Seattle’s museums offer indoor options during the wetter months. Summers are typically drier, while winters tend to be cooler and wetter. Washington does not levy a personal state income tax on wages.

Frequently Asked Questions: Living in Washington
Where are your new home communities located in Washington?
Our communities are situated to take advantage of the Seattle metro area's steady growth and connectivity. We build near major routes like I-5, I-405, and Highway 167, providing access to Seattle and Tacoma, as well as Highway 410 for trips east toward the mountains.
What should I look for in a home builder?
Look at how long the builder has been building in the region, what you are able to personalize versus what is fixed, and what happens after you close. Shea Homes offers design selections through our Design Studio. Homes are also backed by a Shea Homes Warranty. Visiting a model home, speaking with a Sales Person and walking the modeled floor plan in person can provide additional context as you consider your options.
What is there to do near your Washington communities?
In Washington, the outdoors is part of an ordinary week rather than just for vacation. You will have access to miles of marine shoreline for kayaking, sailing, and whale watching, plus three national parks within the state's borders, including Olympic and Mount Rainier. For wetter months, indoor options like the Space Needle, MoPOP, and Seattle’s museums are close by.
Does buying a home in Washington State offer any tax benefits?
Washington is one of a small number of states that does not levy a personal state income tax on wages. Other state and local taxes, such as sales and property taxes, still apply, so we recommend reviewing your specific budget with a tax professional.
Are new homes designed for Washington's weather?
Washington summers are typically drier, while winters tend to be cooler and wetter. Our new construction homes feature floor plans with rooms that adapt easily from guest spaces to home offices, and kitchens shaped for cooking with company, providing a comfortable retreat no matter the season.
