Parade of Homes kickoff will be at Magnolia Heights in Washougal

Northwest Natural has announced plans for the 2020 edition of the annual Parade of Homes, presented by DeWils and HomeStreet Bank.

A kickoff ceremony will be at 10 a.m. Feb. 5 at Magnolia Heights in Washougal. The site is built off of Southeast McKever Road, which branches off from Southeast Crown Road.

The 38-lot development from Vancouver-based Waverly Homes includes seven lots set aside for the parade. The development’s lots average about 8,500 square feet, and the overall site plan calls for homes ranging from 2,500 to 4,000 square feet and a price range from $850,000 to $1.3 million.

Last year’s Parade of Homes opened to the public during September and featured six homes at the Dawson’s Ridge development in western Camas. The 2020 parade will be the third in a row in the east county; the 2018 parade was at the Camas Meadows Golf Course.

The parade homes are typically pre-sold and built to match the specifications of the buyers; but once they’re complete, they become part of the public parade tour for about two weeks before the owners move in. The parade typically includes a mix of homes from several builders.

The goal of the event is to connect custom homebuilders with potential customers and to give visitors a chance to familiarize themselves with the builders’ latest and greatest work to help them come up with their own ideas for their dream home.

The Building Industry Association begins the show-planning process each year by asking developers to nominate sites with undeveloped lots. Then the agency sends out a commission team to evaluate the candidates and pick one for the show.

Waverly Homes submitted its initial application for the project in February 2019.
