WEEKEND ESCAPES WORTH THE DRIVE
As the weather warms up and we get more hours of sunlight, there’s no better time to plan a quick getaway. A full-blown vacation might not be in the cards, but even a weekend trip can go a long way toward helping you relax and recharge while making great memories. The Northwest offers plenty of close-to-home options, whether you’re looking for some peace and quiet in nature or a bit of excitement in the city. Into the Trees The nearby Blue Mountains are a local favorite for a refreshing weekend break. Camping up there in May is perfect for those who enjoy hiking or hunting for morel mushrooms. These wild mushrooms pop up in the spring and are prized by foragers and foodies alike. Even if mushrooms aren’t your thing, the cool air and quiet trails make for a perfect reset. A few days off the grid is sometimes all you
need to come back recharged and ready to tackle the everyday. Lakes and Leisure Does your idea of the perfect weekend involve water? If so, a trip to Colchuk Lake or Lake Chelan might be just the thing. Colchuk’s clear waters and mountain views offer amazing photo opportunities, while Lake Chelan has something for everyone, including swimming, paddle boarding, wine tasting, and lakefront dining. Whether you’re traveling with family, a partner, or solo, both destinations provide a great way to unwind and soak in the beautiful natural scenery of Washington. Baseball and City Breaks Sometimes, a weekend away is less about fresh air and more about fresh experiences. Catching a Mariners game in Seattle is a longtime tradition for many locals, and the drive over the
mountains makes for a scenic ride. While in Seattle, you can grab some great food, visit Pike Place Market, or walk along the waterfront. Alternatively, you can drive south and visit Portland and Multnomah Falls for a combination of natural scenery and cityscapes. The great thing about living in the Tri-Cities area is that you don’t need a big travel budget or several days off work to enjoy something new. In fact, with so many great places to visit nearby, the hardest part might be deciding where to go first.
