5 day trips from Seattle
Trust us, it’s hard to get bored in Seattle. With so many things to do, ranging from museums and attractions to restaurants, bars, coffee shops and parks, there’s always something new to discover in Seattle. But from its prime Pacific Northwest perch on the Puget Sound, in the shadow of Mt. Rainier, the city offers access to a variety of experiences and landscapes that are definitely worth checking out. These day trips from Seattle are easy and fun-filled, and will give you a good overview of the region. While Olympic National Park is only about 2.5 hours away, that beautiful, sprawling park covering many different ecosystems—in conjunction with a trip around the Olympic Peninsula—should be more than just a day trip. These nearby spots range from quaint towns to remote, awe-inspiring parks, and will feel a world away from the city. So get your daypack ready (don’t forget layers and a raincoat) and head out to explore these top spots that make for an easy day trip from Seattle. RECOMMENDED: The best things to do in Seattle
