Programs typically offer students the opportunity to study several disciplines in a coordinated manner. Full-time students can enroll in interdisciplinary academic programs, in addition to stand-alone classes. Founded in 1967, it offers a non-traditional undergraduate curriculum in which students have the option to design their own study towards a degree or follow a pre-determined path of study. ![]() It's more complicated than we ever thought.The Evergreen State College is a public liberal arts college in Olympia, Washington. If you find acreage with homes on the MLS, just go to the county assessor site and look it up before you get all excited about turning it into your self-sustaining dream mini-farm. He said next there will be more severe restrictions about that. He advised us not to get anything with a creek or any water running through it. We talked to a man who is on some board (sorry I don't remember name but I could get it.). Longtime landowners and farmers told us that the city folks in Kng County planning and land services continually making it harder for rural folks to USE their land. Enumclaw is so nice-I am prejudiced because we looked there a lot. See what I mean? OK, now for King County. Now if you want to just look at natural wetlands and never touch it, cut a tree or touch the creek, go for it. By the time you block off the portions the lawful number of feet away from the wetland, you can find yourself with almost no useable portion of that two acres you bought. ![]() Say you buy a two acre place, wetlands will be encroaching somewhere on it 98% of the time. This is done AFTER sale so you can't be sure you can have those animals when you buy. If its acreage with barns and fencing but without animals at time of sale, you must pay around 2K for the appropriate study to see if you can have the goats, sheep, cows, alpacas, etc. Want animals? If the place already has animals at time of sale, you're okay. If you check with Pierce Cty website, you find everything is considered wetland, wildlife corridor or flood zone. So many nice homes on acreage have hardly any USEABLE acreage. Pierce County which has Puyallup, Graham, Orting, Buckley, Wilkeson, Buckley are all nice areas. Now, problem is if you work in south Seattle, Puyallup, Auburn your commute is long. Olalla, WA very small farmie town attracting folks who want USEABLE acreage. Kitsap county is wonderful for zoning when it comes to mini-farms. ![]() I know it's a year later but I have recent experience, so here goes. My understanding is that the commute from any of the outlying areas east of seattle would be a nightmare.Īlso, I read in another thread that Vashon has issues with water and restrictive environmental and building regulations, is the same true for Kitsap County and Poulsbo? An acquaintance who lives in the area also suggested Poulsbo - the southeast area seems to have some minifarm properties and would be a reasonable commute to the Bainbridge ferry to Seattle. I would need to plan for a commute to downtown seattle or west seattle. The price range (for a property with a home already on site) would be $300,000 or less, and half that for land only. So far Vashon seems like a good location with some reasonably priced properties. We could always find the land first then build a small home. I'd like a small acreage property- the house is less of a concern than finding a well located property suitable for a couple of horses and well-situated. We are a couple considering relocation to the Seattle area.
