Enjoy the quieter season exploring our mountains, forests, shorelines, and the 450-mile long Olympic Culinary Loop connecting you to the tastiest farm-and-sea-to-table fare.

Follow our trip ideas for ways to find your calm this winter.

Stay & Play in Port Angeles
As the gateway to the Olympic National Park, get easy access to hiking, tidepooling, and biking along the 135+ mile Olympic Discovery Trail. Stroll the waterfront downtown to nearly 80 locally-owned shops and eateries.

Stay & Chill in Port Ludlow
Turn on the bed-side fireplace and start filling the tub. Soak in the views of the bay, and pop a bottle of fine Washington wine while snacking on an artisanal cheese plate. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a day of kayaking, beach and waterfall walks, or 18 holes of golf.

Stay & Wellness in Port Townsend
As one of America’s last remaining Victorian seaports, history lives around every corner here. Try a kayak paddle along the bay looking for wildlife followed by a beach stroll to Point Wilson Lighthouse. Imbibe in sauna culture with a warm salt water soak, then catch a flick at the Rose Theatre’s Starlight Room.

Stay & Art in Sequim
Drive-thru a wildlife park to see lions, bears and lovable llamas followed by a walk on the beach at Dungeness Spit, a National Wildlife Refuge. Pack a picnic and explore Railroad Bridge Park and the Dungeness River Nature Center. Visit Sequim Museum & Arts before dressing up – or down – for dinner and a show at Olympic Theater Arts.
