The Puget Sound area is renowned for its maritime aesthetic that includes waterfront views. The region has several of the busiest ports in the country and is home to nearly two-thirds of Washington state’s 7.7 million residents, according to the state Department of Ecology. There are also many native and famed animal species in the waters of the Salish Sea, such as orcas.
So it’s no wonder that many people choose to live along the waterfront. Some of the richest billionaires in the country own homes in the Puget Sound area. In fact, there are currently more than a dozen $1 million-plus homes on or coming onto the market in the region. Luckily, they all have upcoming open houses over the first weekend of December.
Whether you’re looking for a new waterfront mansion, or just want to see a luxurious home with its own waterfront access, you can check out each of these in early December.
