This gorgeous area is near and dear to our hearts. Katie spent four summers living in the Burlington area and cannot recommend it enough!
Deception Pass State Park
Anacortes, WA
For four summers, Katie ran accross this bridge nearly every day. It is attached to miles of coastal and forest trails, all maintained by WA state parks. Seaside bluffs, vibrant tidepools, and miles of beachfront make this a must-visit!
North Cascades National Park
WA
Spend the day or a few days exploring the stunning North Cascades National Park. Pictured here: Mount Sauk, one of Katie's favorite day hikes featuring 360 degree views of the mountains.
San Juan Islands
Anacortes, WA
Katie and Baker have spent some of their favorite days out on the beautiful waters of the San Juans. Book a ferry for either a day or overnight trip to enjoy some of the most beautiful views in the world.
La Conner
La Conner, WA
Visit La Connor for quaint seaside views, window shopping, and tasty treats. Even better - stay here! It's considered one of Washington's best towns for a weekend getaway.
Frye Art Museum
Seattle, WA
Katie's favorite art museum on the West Side, with a stunning collection of both contemporary and classical works.
Gas Works Park
Seattle, WA
Sweeping views of Seattle coupled with a decommisioned and now overgrown coal gasification plant make for a stunning afternoon. Pro tip: bring donuts from Mighty O's!
