Day Island Waterfront Real Estate
Day Island was used for centuries by Native Americans for harvesting shellfish and hunting duck, but in 1841 explorer John Wilkes arrived and named the island after his crewman, Stephan Days and nearly three decades later it was included in a 160-acre homestead claim purchased from the U.S. Today, this unique community stands out for its geography, natural beauty, and architecture, and is divided into three areas: South Spit, West and East boulevards. It sits at the end of 27th street in University place, ideal for those who want to enjoy a slower pace and island living, and a quicker commute just 15 minutes from freeway access.
