Lake Tyee Size and Location
At over 520 acres and 886 individual RV sites, Lake Tyee is one of Washington's largest ownership RV resorts.

In both cases, a statutory warranty deed will be issued to you normally within 30 days from the signing of the contract. There are terms available on the remaining inventory lots, and the Lands-West Sales Office will provide financing. There are also a number of resale properties available which include some bare lots, or many with varying degrees of improvements. Many have room additions, decks, roof covers, storage sheds, fire pits, and landscaping. Most purchases of resale properties will require the buyer to obtain their own financing. However, there are some cases where owner financing is available. Prior to the closing of your purchase, your Earnest Money deposit will be held in a trust account or by the escrow company as required by Washington State law.
