Washington Day Trips by Theme

Auteur

Ellie Kozlowski grew up in a suburb of Boston. She's lived in the Pacific Northwest for the better part of a decade. It is, she thinks, the best place to enjoy the desert, the rainforest, the ocean, and the mountains. She loves adventuring, hiking, stargazing, snowshoeing, and being a tourist in her own state. When she's not driving up a mountainside or along a coast, she's at home in Seattle with her partner and their dog.

Cute Towns Leavenworth Escape your day-to-day with a getaway to Leavenworth, a Bavarian-themed village in the Cascade Mountains. Take your time waltzing around Front Street Park, explore the charming shops in town, and then plunk yourself down for a pretzel, a bratwurst, and a local beer. Depending on the season, you might go skiing, whitewater rafting, museuming, or ziplining. The town hosts several festivals, including Oktoberfest, the Christmas Lighting Festival, and Bavarian Icefest. Whenever you make the trip, you're sure to be delighted. Poulsbo Poulsbo, sometimes called Little Norway, is a beautiful seaside town on the Kitsap Peninsula. Views of Puget Sound are stunning, rain or shine, but if it's clear you might catch Mt. Rainier and the Olympic Mountains. Walk along the marinas or on the boardwalk to visit shops, galleries, and museums. When you're ready to get off your feet, simply stroll into any of the restaurants or breweries that dot the area. If you're here to test the beer, try a pint at Slippery Pig or Valholl Brewing (dogs allowed in both).
