From the old Victorian homes in Port Townsend to the farmhouses of Eastern Washington, our state has some impressive places to call home. And sometimes when you spot one, you just want to go inside and take a tour (or somehow magically claim it as your own). These 10 are perfect examples.
- The F.W. Hastings House in Port Townsend.

- The Stimson Green Mansion in Seattle.
Michael D Martin / Flickr This is one of Seattle’s most beautiful landmarks and an impressive example of “eclectic architecture” from 1901. You can’t walk by it without wanting to take a look inside.
- This incredible masterpiece in Spokane.

- The Governor’s Mansion in Olympia.

- This modern floating house in Seattle.

- This colorful masterpiece in Anacortes.

- The “Blue Bottle House” in West Seattle.

- The rainforest castle in Sedro Woolley.

- Bill Gates’ house in Medina.

- The “Snow White” House, Olalla
John L. Scott Real Estate This one-of-a-kind home would make anyone do a double take. The good news is that it’s for sale, so if you think you might be interested, you can take a tour.
