North of Seattle there is a town called Bellingham. This charming little town is home to Rocket Donuts. This is a yummy “must stop” if your in the area. A sweet cup of Joe and a delicious donut, is a great beginning to your day. Oh and did I mention the Decor? Lets just say ITS OUT OF THIS WORLD
Long Beach isn’t exactly near Seattle, Its about a 3 to 4 hour drive south near the Oregon border. So peaceful, so beautiful, and just delightful. Long Beach is located on a peninsula and offers shopping, hotels, restaurants, and abundance of family friendly stores, to make everyone happy. Looking forward to spending more time there myself.

Boy what a great place. Might want to see this some day. Again fabulous pictures.
Cape Flattery is probably about five hours from downtown Seattle. This isn’t you regular drive on the freeway though, it consist of small towns, The Washington State Ferry, and pretty much one road that drives along next to The Straight of Juan de Fuca. There is a trail located on the Makah Indian Reservation that will take you to this beautiful destination. Make sure you come prepared though, there is a $10.00 charge for a recreational pass that is required. The trial is an easy hike, very scenic, and well maintained. This adventure is great for the entire family. For more information go to http://www.northolympic.com/capeflatterytrail/

Hurricane Ridge is located across Puget Sound on the Olympic Peninsula. Each time you visit, it is an entirely different display of natural beauty. There could be 20ft of snow, clouds so thick you cant see the road, or amazing views of the mountains for as far as the eye can see. The cost to get into the Olympic National Forest is a mere $15.00. This is a MUST see, MUST do, on your next visit to Seattle. Be safe though, there are black bears, elk, deer, grouse, pica, porcupine, and cougars, running wild. Here is a link to the web site, for additional information. http://www.nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/visiting-hurricane-ridge.htm

Ok this one is really special. Stocker Farms offers a great family friendly afternoon, filled with pumpkin picking, a corn maze, pony rides, getting up close and personal with turkeys and goats, along with great snacks, a really cute farm market, and a ton of FUN. I hope to make this a new yearly tradition, and so should you!! The cost is about $9.00 a person and worth every penny. Stocker Farms is located maybe an hour north of downtown Seattle.
