Home or castle?

The explosion of wealth in Washington has led to larger and more luxurious homes -- some with expensive renovations -- coming onto the market. Here's a selection of some of the most expensive real estate on the market in the state.

Vashon Island

$16.5 million A more turnkey approach to island living, the centerpiece of this 23.9-acre Vashon estate is a five bedroom, seven-bathroom mansion that totals 14,000 square feet. You can watch whales swim past from your 900 feet of waterfront, or read your favorite Washington business magazine in the lighthouse that doubles as a library.
