]]> Located in the charming capital city of Olympia, WA, nestled in scenic Western Washington State, Harbor Heights’ waterfront location offers residents more than just gorgeous views. Convenient boat moorage, kayaking, sailing, and birdwatching are just a few of the activities and benefits available to our residents.

 

Waterfront Recreation

 

Rent a kayak from one of these local businesses and enjoy a day exploring Budd Bay Inlet and the many local marinas around downtown Olympia. Take in views of the city and majestic Olympic Mountain range while getting some sunshine and exercise. If you care to venture further out, many local parks have boat launch areas to explore even more areas of South Puget Sound.

Convenient Boat Moorage

 

Our residents enjoy the convenience of storing their boats just steps away from the building. Martin Marina is just one of many local marinas that offer boat slips at competitive rates in a location that cannot be beaten. After a day spent on the water, stop at one of downtown Olympia’s many waterfront restaurants for a summer alfresco meal.

Proximity to Nature and Wildlife

Harbor Heights residents can spot many species of water birds from their residence windows or our beautiful Sky Terrace. Along the waterfront in Budd Inlet, it’s not uncommon to spot seals, especially during the fall salmon spawning season.

Olympia Harbor Days Festival

The Olympia Harbor Days festival returns this year with traditional tugboat races, cultural performances and activities, an arts and crafts fair, food vendors, an electric car show, and more. Take part in three days of fun in downtown Olympia with all activities within walking distance from our building. While you are there, please stop by and see us! We would love to offer you a tour of our building amenities and discuss our specials on one-bedroom residences.

The post Break out of the Routine and Try Something Completely New this Spring appeared first on Harbor Heights Blog.

]]> Growing older does not mean that options for activity are limited. On the contrary, studies show that staying active mentally and physically as we age is the key to longevity. So if your everyday routines have become mundane, why not find time to try something completely new this spring? Whether you enjoy getting outdoors and learning about wildlife, exploring new travel destinations, or learning new skills, there are plenty of novel ways to keep your brain and body active.

Take Advantage of Your Resident PERKS

Take a trip this spring and explore somewhere new using your resident PERKS. Residents of Harbor Heights are invited to enjoy benefits at all participating Columbia Hospitality hotels, resorts, distinctive venues, and golf courses. Benefits include exclusive discounts and complimentary upgrades that can add up to a ton of savings if travel is on your agenda this spring. Not yet a resident? To learn more about the PERKS of being a resident at Harbor Heights, inquire during your tour. 
 

Get Up Close and Personal with Wildlife

Residents can get up close and personal with wildlife at Northwest Trek Wildlife Park, located just an hour drive from Harbor Heights. Connect with native, northwest environment with safe, fun activities suitable for all ages. Tour options include walking, driving, and guided tours, and there are plenty of activities to do if you opt to bring the grandkids. Northwest Trek is committed to conservation efforts and protecting the local wildlife and environment and offers options to volunteer for those seeking to become more involved in conservation efforts.  

Take a Virtual Cooking Class

Even if you are well-adept at cooking, there are always new skills and recipes to learn to keep things interesting in the kitchen. One of the benefits of the virtual environment we have all been living through the past two years is that options for virtual learning are more plentiful than ever before. Whether you want to learn French pastry from a chef in Versailles or are determined to master Korean cuisine, there are many online courses available.

Try Sprouting Seedlings Indoors

While we wait for the warmth and sunshine of spring, bring the outdoors inside by starting herb seed sprouts indoors. When the threat of frost is over, transfer the seedlings to the Harbor Heights community herb patches located on the Sky Terrace. Some herbs that are among the easiest to grow from seed are basil, mint, parsley, chives, and dill. If you are new to gardening, check out this website for a quick guide to indoor seed starting.
