A Glimpse of Washington’s Beautiful South Puget Sound

Well folks, whether we want to admit it or not, Summer is coming to an end.
How was your summer?
I love Washington summers! They are what make putting up with the rainy months totally worth it. As usual the summer was a beautiful one here in Washington State. But it was also a record dry and hot one, and so we spent quite a bit of time in, on or near the water to keep cool these past couple of months!
As Summer draws to a close I wanted to share a piece of heaven with you from my home here in the Pacific Northwest. We’re going to take a little walk along the beach, see some brave guys dive off a very high pier, and then jump in our sailboat for a ride!
Come join the Killebrew clan!
We dragged our boat back onto land for the last time this season.
It’s been another great year.
Farewell to Summer from the Evergreen State!

It really was a gorgeous summer this year wasn’t it? I wish we could have gotten out on the water. Being a Cali transplant it took me a bit to get used to Washington weather, but now I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else! Oh and we are neighbors BTW :)
Hi Bobbi, neighbor! :) I agree, I moved to the U.S. eleven years ago and, having come from Germany/England, Washington is the only place to be! :)
Oh, how I love Washington! What a great way to send off summer. :)
For sure, Deborah! We’re really blessed to live in such a beautiful area!
Gorgeous pictures! This makes me want to jump on a boat and explore the sound.
You’d love, Ashley! The Sound also has some of the world’s best scuba diving!
How beautiful! :) I need to plan another trip towards the West coast again. I have only been to Portland, OR and never really made it to the actual coast during that trip.
The Oregon coast is breathtaking, Carrie, you definitely need to visit!
My aunt lives walking distance from the Sound. I remember I was about 7 years old the first time we went to visit her and I could see the whales in the Sound from her balcony. It was the highlight of my trip there to walk down and see them. Such a gorgeous area!
That’s awesome, Jennifer! And who knows, your aunt might be our neighbor :)
What a beautiful, fun, relaxing day that looks like! I’ve heard so many people talk about puget sound, that’s an area I’d definitely love to visit.
It’s definitely one of the most beautiful areas in Washington, Heather, you’d love it!
As an Angeleno, I’m in awe of the solitude you have there! Wow, I’d say it was Northern Michigan if I didn’t know any better! You are fortunate to live in such a such a beautiful area, Kimberly.
We really are fortunate, Christina. As much as I love visiting big cities, I have to have my solitude and space to come home to. We just purchased a home on 8 acres and it’s paradise!
My brother lives up there but I never seem to visit in summer – now I might have to change that!
Washington summers are the best, Aida!
We totally win at summer’s around here, huh?! I live for summer weekends at my folks place – the south sound is really beautiful!! Looks like you really made the most of it!
Megan, we definitely know how to showcase summers best here in Washington! :)
I’ve never visited this part of Washington and I would love to get there one day!! These photos are gorgeous!
Thanks, Liz! Really and truly, we’ve been everywhere in the state and the South Puget Sound is hands down the prettiest! :)
