3 Great Spots To Visit When You Go To Washington State

In the Pacific Northwest, there are plenty of activities and places to see in the summertime. There are a lot of hidden gems that not many people know about when coming here as tourists. As a Washington native, I am here to help those who may be in interested in finding some great locations. Washington is a great place to come to if you are an outdoorsy person.

This state has spots that can help you disconnect from the hectic life we all live in to appreciate nature and its beauty.

1. Lake Chelan, WA

This lake is located in Eastern Washington and is located in the Cascade mountains. The lake is the third deepest lake in the United States, according to an article from Britannica .com. This naturally-made lake is a great destination for you and your family to come if you love the heat and being on the water. Not a lot of people think of desert-like environments when they think of Washington.

Well, Washington is quite diverse as Lake Chelan is surrounded by mountains and desert. There are plenty of activities for you to do while you're there such as waterskiing, inner tubing, hiking, and even parachuting. If you are into water-sports this is the place to be.

This small town located near the Canadian border has access to the Pacific Ocean. This coastal community really shows its true beauty during the summertime because the beaches are always full of life. The activities that you can participate in while visiting are boogie boarding, kite flying, clam hunting, boating, swimming, and even making sand castles.

In fact, during the end of July they have a fun sand sculpture competition where hundreds of people come to compete. There also is a kite flying competition as well that happens over the summer.

This spot is my personal favorite as it is a very secluded area in which you are in the heart of the great outdoors. Also, the water is run off from the cascade mountains making the water super refreshing on a hot summer day. This location includes tons of humongous rocks for a great area to soak up the sun and post up for the day. The views here are worth taking pictures for as I highly recommend bringing a camera with. There are trails along the river that have some trees that have been there for hundreds of years.

Not a lot of people know of this spot as it took me 16 sixteen years to find this place in a state I have been living in my entire life. The activities that you can do while you are there are rock climbing, high diving, inner tubing, swimming, and rope swinging. What makes this spot so unique Is that there is a ton of wildlife all around when you are there. Animals such as deer, fish, snakes, birds, and lots more. If you are an outdoorsy person this is the place for you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
