Unique Places to Stay in Washington

Share

The State of Washington is such a beautiful place and I’m so fortunate to call it home. There are many places to stay in Washington; hotels, inns, bed and breakfasts, lodges, cabins and more.

Whether you’re vacationing here or you live here and looking for a place to get away for a weekend, there’s a place for everyone.

Over the years and searching online I’ve noticed we have so many unique places in our state that gives you the option to stay at; like lighthouses or a treehouse. Have you ever wanted to stay in a teepee? Yeah, we have that too.
