Life in Diamond Point: A Secret Spot with Stunning Views
Sunshine and water views collide in Sequim’s unincorporated Diamond Point neighborhood, a sought-after enclave occupying a tidy corner on the eastern Olympic Peninsula. Perched above the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Discovery Bay, Diamond Point affords residents a feeling of private exclusivity while still remaining close to everything the area has to offer. And because it’s located within the Olympic Rain Shadow, the neighborhood gets considerably less rainfall than what the Pacific Northwest is known for, giving you plenty of opportunity to enjoy endless outdoor activities.

Here are just a few of the highlights of owning a home in Diamond Point: · Along with strolls on the beach, outdoor walks are easy in the adjacent Miller Peninsula State Park and Thompson Spit. The larger park plan is in development, but miles of trails wind through woods and beach for enjoyment today.
