We live in the perfect state for fun summer adventures. Whatever it is that piques your interest, I am sure there is something in Washington that you would enjoy this upcoming summer break. 

Personally, I love the outdoors. Some fun options for getting outside would be lake days, hiking, scenic drives, or camping. 

Here are some locations:

  • Lake Cushman 
  • Lake Cresent  
  • Olympic National Park 
  • Mount Rainer National Park 
  • Mountain Loop Highway 

If none of those options suit you there will also be a lot of festivals and markets. Going with a group of friends would be fun. 

  • Puyallup Farmers’ Market 
  • The Olympia Farmers’ Market 
  • Pike Place Market 
  • Lakewood Farmers’ Market (Every Tuesday from 2-7 until September 19th)
  • Beyond Wonderland PNW 2023 (June 17-18) 
  • Summer Meltdown in Darington, WA (July 28-31) 

If you plan to stay near home, there are many options for that as well.  

  • Have a picnic 
  • BBQ with friends and family 
  • Paint 
  • Read a book outside 
  • Movie nights 

These are just a few of many options. Have fun this summer and be safe!
