Find information on buying WSDOT property, acquiring right of way for projects, wireless leasing, and the programs we have in place if a WSDOT project affects you or your property.
WSDOT has six regions and most real estate functions, including acquiring right of way for projects, are the responsibility of the region where a property is located. If you have any questions about WSDOT-owned real estate or a project that affects your property, please call the region on the contact list in your county.
Real estate auctions and wireless leasing for the state is done by the Real Estate Services headquarters office. You can find information on those auctions, wireless leasing and general information below.
If you have questions about right of way plans, please contact the office in your county on the contact list.
