About West Sound Property Solutions

The waterfront homes above Rich Passage watch the tide work Puget Sound all day, and the crew tries to time its plow runs the same way locals time a boat launch, working the falling light of a winter afternoon before the evening tide brings back the damp. Snow this close to open water rarely stays snow for long; it turns to a heavy slush that freezes hard once the sun drops behind the Olympics. The crew clears the long driveways that wind down toward the beach first, since those are the ones that ice fastest in the shadow of the bluff, then works back up toward the road. A driveway cleared before dusk here means a resident can still make it up to the highway after dark. Down on the water, the ferries keep running past Rich Passage regardless.
