The homes on this year's tour are:
Craig and Rose Olson
This is a fantastic home with all rooms overlooking Mt. Baker and Skagit Bay. It's a true family home filled with artwork and stained glass. There are so many things to see from an outdoor barbecue room to a wine cellar. And be sure to check out the media room. Added attractions include an entertainment barn and live buffalo located across the street. You'll want to drive up there because it's a little steep and some distance, but there is plenty of parking.

This home is an oasis of peace and tranquility in the woods on a private lake. Watch the eagles soar and the beavers in their lodge. The house is flooded with sunlight and was decorated by an interior designer and stager. The rooms are cozy and trimmed extensively with hickory. There is also a mother-in-law apartment plus a large game room that includes a sauna.
Bob and Ann Haffner
If there is a state-of-theart quilt room, it will be found in this home along with a wood working shop that all men will appreciate. Both rooms have stunning water and territorial views as does the rest of the house. The kitchen is Mediterranean with a spectacular tile mural, veined granite countertops, and planked walnut floors. The dining room was designed to showcase a colorful Bower and Fiesta pottery collection, and the chairs reflect the colors in the pottery.

The driftwood on the shore with beautiful Port Susan beyond set the scene for this dream beach house. The windows are huge to capture that view and are designed to add to the nautical feeling. From the whitewashed vaulted ceilings and elegant white cabinetry to the unusual tiles and whimsical play areas, the architecture creates a masterpiece for island living.
Dave and Cathy Paules
A builder and a designer, who happen to be husband and wife, teamed up to produce a home loaded with the "wow" factor. From the state-of-the-art kitchen with dark shaker cabinets, slate flooring, and built-in coffee service area to the unique master bath with his and her vanities, placed back to back, you are aware of great attention to detail, beauty and comfort. The furniture has been selected to enhance the interior colors and harmonize with the breathtaking view of Saratoga Passage.
