There’s something special about Seattle, and I can’t quite place it. I just love the feel of the city, the gloomy skies, the UFOs everywhere. Seattle is just different—and I like that. My recent trip to Washington was great! I spent my time exploring Downtown Seattle, camping in the woods, and meeting family I’d never met before!
Have you seen the rest of my Great American Road Trip posts? 🌼
Have you ever seen a cuter face?! Look at this happy puppy! 😍
I am one happy camper 🌞
There’s nothing better than being above the tree-line and seeing nothing but green for miles and miles. The Pacific Northwest is so gorgeous.
Fun fact: John Muir is my favorite person in the world. Did you know it’s because of him that we even have National Parks and green, open spaces that are protected? When I was younger, I was so interested in him, his books were all I would read. I even made my dad take me to Muir’s home in California, we did the Muir Trail, and I have all his books (one of them I have in three different versions!) Anyway, I’m a big fan of Mr. Muir. 😂
Visiting this little town in Chehalis was like stepping back in time. Everything was vintage, it was SO amazing! If it weren’t for the gloom and cold winters, I’d totally live there.
This was my second time visiting Seattle and Pike’s, and it was as though nothing had changed from the last time I was there. The only difference was that I changed, which made the city feel even better. Have you ever felt that way visiting a place?
Oh, these Washington sunsets. The skies were an orange/purple/pink because of the wildfires, but they were so pretty. Beauty in the madness, I guess! 💜

Hi Jasmine,
I actually spent a year living and volunteering in Seattle, and made my way to Mt. Rainier and the Cascades. Seattle is a fantastic city, and I’d like to go back there one of these days (preferably in August or September). But the winters – I just can’t handle them. The nine months or rain and gloom is the only reason I don’t thing I could ever live in Seattle.

Yes, it is gorgeous in the summer at least! But I also lived in the PNW for 4 years and I couldn’t handle the gloomy weather. It really gets to me!

I totally agree- when you change/grow, it totally affects how you experience a place you’ve been to previously!

Wonderful photos. I spend three months at Fort Lewis. I love Mt. Rainier. I roamed her often in 1993.
