The first trip we took as a couple was to Seattle in 2017 for NYE. We love everything about this city and hope to one day call it home! See below for some Seattle highlights.
Such a great way to spend an afternoon in the city! We recommend Piroshky Piroshky, Three Girls Bakery, and Beecher's Handmade Cheese (best mac and cheese).
A Seattle icon - take the elevator to the top for some awesome views!
A long-term exhibition combining glass art and garden displays.
Enjoy drinks at the brewery where the wedding beer is from!
Sequim is known for its lavender farms. Check this one out during their harvest season! You can also pick your own berries here!
Just a 30 minute drive from Sequim, is the gateway to the Olympic National Park. Another 30 minutes up the mountain you will find Hurricane Ridge, complete with sweeping views, alpine meadows, and diverse wildlife!
A stunning lake nearby Port Angeles with a classic national park lodge. We recommend the walk to Devil's Punchbowl on the West side of the lake (via Spruce Railroad Trail).
Inside Olympic National Park and an hour and 20 minute drive from Sequim, you will find a 1.6 mile hike through the forest to Sol Duc Falls - we HIGHLY recommend!
A beautiful rainforest within Olympic National Park - worth the drive!
If you drive the Olympic Peninsula Loop, be sure to stop here and have lunch! If you have time, hike one of the trails near the lake.
If you have a few extra days to explore the area, we highly recommend visiting one of our favorite national parks!
Take a drive up to the northern part of Washington, and hit all three national parks in the state!
