Pros: Great scenic destinations! A nature lovers paradise. Cons: Well, it is home to Starbucks.
Growing up in Oregon with a family who did a lot of outdoor activities I got to see my fair share of the beautiful Pacific Northwest, including neighboring Washington. I came to love our neighbor to the north and its great scenic beauty. Needless to say, ...

Pros: Breathtaking scenery, mild climate, wonderful sense of community Cons: The fact that it cannot be our permanent home
Everyone has his or her own definition of “home” and “hometown.” Some people like to use the old adages of “home is where the heart is” or “home is where you hang your hat.” I have to lean towards the former with my definition of hometown.

Pros: Surprising collection of murals in a remote location Cons: Little known beyond the immediate area
Himself and I literally stumbled over the small town of Toppenish in 1996 during a visit to the Pacific Northwest. We weren't looking for it; we didn't even know it was there. We were traveling in the wilds of south-central Washington State after a...

Pros: A wonderful collection of memorabilia from past wars and conflicts, Admission is free Cons: Limited operating hours
With the majesty of Mt Rainier in the background and looming pine trees as far as the eye can see, there is a place where you can take a step back in military history – the Ft. Lewis Military Museum.

Pros: Stability, safety Cons: A little bit of a yawner
Olympia
Olympia. State capital of Washington. Birthplace of…birthplace of…birthplace of…well, nothing really major, to be honest. Still, it's a little town that just keeps on trying to inject a little vibrancy into its culture.

Pros: Fun for the whole family Cons: Only open for 2 months
North of Seattle about 55 miles , just off of Interstate 5 a few miles south of Mount Vernon, is a corn maze.
I believe this is the second year these folks have done this and believe me, they really outdid themselves this year.
They've...

Pros: Delicious meals served fast and friendly Cons: family run - closed whenever the feeling strikes
Here's a theory for you. I imagine there is a limited amount of luck to be had on this planet, and we're all entitled to an equal share. Some of us might get lucky in spectacular fashion, such as winning our state's lottery or being discovered in a...

Pros: Magnificent Scenery Cons: Closed in winter
Most of my life, I’ve traveled the world. My friends envy me for the exotic places I’ve seen. They’re jealous of my travel. They don’t believe me when I tell them that a steady diet of airline food is shortening my life. Though I’ve streamlined the...

Pros: Incredible views, atmosphere, activities, and people Cons: If you have an aversion to tie-dyed granola munchers, best stay away

Pros: everything! Cons: ouch! my head! damn! my wallet!
What can I say about Ellensburg, WA? Drive one hour east of Seattle (through the Cascade Mountains) and you would think we were on another planet. The town's main industry is the Thorp Farmers' Market, Central Washington University (accreditation...
