“It's hard not to walk through the town square of Seabrook and not think that you've somehow been transported into Stepford, Connecticut, but fortunately the people who live and work here aren't anything like the wooden or robotic women of that fictional town. Far from it, in fact: everyone we interacted with, from toy store to tavern, was exceptionally friendly, welcoming and warm...which is more than can be said about the weather!
Being situated on the central Washington coast, Seabrook is rarely ever going to be a balmy, tropical paradise (well, unless climate change performs some miracles later this century), but it is still something that has to be seen to be believed: picture-perfect village springing up out of the ground, virtually in the middle of nowhere, manifesting only due to the will and diligence of a single, hard-working couple, the Roloffs. Without their vision, Seabrook would literally not exist.
Something like 80% of the houses in the village are rentals, so the actual population of Seabrook is pretty small. But for those who have chosen to call it home, Seabrook is as close to idyllic as one can imagine a town could be. Over the last 20 years, it has expanded to include additional neighborhoods, two public swimming pools, a Montessori school, multiple shops, boutiques, restaurants, taverns, an arcade, a fantastic local market, and more that I am sure I am forgetting. There are also miles of walkable trails, many of them forested and, of course, that amazing beach, with its always-accessible view from anywhere in town square.
It's clean. It's safe. It's the American Dream as pictured on a postcard. It's Seabrook. And there's nothing like it anywhere.”
