About Us
Blue Heron Lakehouse has been welcoming guests from around the world for more than 18 years. Originally built by Brian’s grandfather in 1942, this Mid-century modern home has been thoughtfully renovated to blend timeless design with modern comfort.
Brian, an architectural designer and former Seattle homebuilder, and Leslie, a former magazine editor and travel writer, now live in Port Angeles, just minutes from Olympic National Park, where they continue to pursue projects in design, real estate and community development. They also own Goldfinch House in Ballard—a Scandinavian-inspired retreat filled with art and modern design—offering guests another uniquely Northwest experience.
We named our place Blue Heron Lakehouse in honor of “Gus,” a great blue heron who is a longtime resident. He loves to hang out on the dock while he's scanning the waters for his next meal.
