Mountains to beaches

Back in summer 2020, when everyone was about up to their eyeballs in quarantine, a few resorts and lodges around the state began to open up. We wrote up this list of seven family getaways for Washington families that includes beachfront spots and cozy mountain resorts. This kid-favorite spot puts your toes right into the mighty — and icy — Pacific.

Note that the list includes Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort, which is currently closed for winter, but it reopens in spring, right about the time you’ll really want to warm up!
