Re: [IRCA] WA DX Heaven....

Dennis and Others,
 
     The ocean coast of Washington has excellent  acreage for sale, but as 
usual with real estate, one should have a definite plan  on how to use it (and 
make sure that the local government agrees with your  plan), before placing any 
money down.  All the local listings are available  on the 
_http://www.remax.com_ (http://www.remax.com)  web site, making  it easy to plug in any city of 
interest, and get all the listings for that  area.
 
     Oceanfront lots with full city amenities (water,  sewer, electric, etc) 
run about 300K in Ocean Shores, and acreage near the ocean  runs anywhere from 
25K up to multi-millions, depending upon the amenities, or  lack thereof.  
There are some "unbuildable" lots which are definite  bargains, for a DXer 
willing to "commute" on weekends.  Ocean Shores and  Westport seem to be more in 
demand than other areas, presumably because of their  relative proximity to 
Puget Sound, but the Long Beach area also is very  desirable.
 
     Probably the best advice that could be given is to  avoid buying on 
emotion, and make your choice only after a complete review of  the property, local 
government, zoning restrictions, etc.  The paradox is  that the best DX 
locations require some degree of isolation, which is hardly the  best for security 
and convenience.
 
                                                                              
                              73,  Gary
