Washington State Hikes: Get 'Em While They're Hot!
Washington has a bounty of beautiful forests, beaches, and countryside... but is not known for its abundance of sunshine. However, to visit Washington in July and August is a different story. After a few days of sunlit hiking in the lush landscapes surrounding Seattle, one may be compelled to sell the family home in California.
Summer in Washington is not to be missed. Here are some recommendations for great hiking and recreation from Everywhere members.
Snoqualmie Falls is located just a short drive outside of Seattle and is a nice place to go to when you're looking to get out of the city. At the Falls there is a park, hiking trails, deck (which is a great picture location), and gift shop.

Twin Falls State Park is just a few miles East of North Bend, Washington along Interstate 90. If you like hiking and love to see waterfalls this is a must see. Especially since it is so easy to access and close to the city.

Cape Disappointment State Park does not live up to it's namesake. It sits at the mouth of the Columbia River and boasts beautiful scenery. If you want to spend a few days exploring the area and hiking, you can rent out rooms in one of the lighthouse keeper's homes and enjoy the surroundings.
