Tourism in Washington State

By Leroy Calstard

If you want to find a relaxing place to visit for your next vacation where you will have the option of being outdoors, visit Silverdale, Washington. This town, which is located outside of Seattle is close to the ocean and provides you with many activities to do while on vacation.

In addition to relaxing on the water, you can also hike, climb mountains, fish, hunt, and go boating on various lakes in the area. Because the town is so close to Seattle, you can visit the city when you want to go out for the evening to a nice restaurant, have a drink in a bar, or see a movie.

Silverdale is also a great place to go geocaching. This is a fun activity for the entire family. You will need a simple GPS tracking device and access to a geocaching website that provides you with coordinates. This is one activity that not only involves hunting for little trinkets others have left behind, but also is a way to see more of the landscape. There are many other places where you can to geocaching as well. Find small trails or long trails when you want to spend the day outside.

In addition to all the activities you can participate in during your vacation to Washington, you can also just relax in a home you can rent for a week or two. Rental properties are very reasonable depending on the time of year you want to travel. If making arrangements for a family vacation, you should ask how many bedrooms the home has and other amenities available. Research homes online and find out more about their location before renting one for the week. You will be able to watch the sunset, take walks, or read a few good books on the patio.

Rental properties are very common because many people in the area own vacation homes in the area and rent them out when they are not using it. This means that during certain times of the year, you will have more choices when it comes to renting a home than during other times. The end of the summer season, for example, usually has more rentals than at the beginning. When planning your trip, decide where you would like to stay in Silverdale and find a home that is large enough to accommodate your family, luggage, and enough space for everyone to relax.

Vacationing in areas like Washington, you and your family will have plenty to do. You can visit peninsulas and go for boat tours, visit the city of Seattle, and get to know more about nature. Most people fly into Seattle and then drive to Silverdale, which is only 23 miles away. Seattle is a wonderful town where you will find great restaurants, shopping, and other places to visit. There are many museums, art galleries, and tourist spots for you to visit while on vacation.
