• Log cabin for sale in Pierce County, but it's only accessible over active railroad (thenewstribune.com) — A distinctive 1930 log cabin in University Place's Sunset Beach neighborhood is on the market for about $1.5 million, offering sweeping water and Narrows Bridge views. The catch is that residents must cross an active railroad on foot to reach the 18 waterfront homes, creating an unusually secluded, tight-knit community with rich local history and abundant marine wildlife sightings.
