Visiting Washington Coast

The Washington coast is set for spring and summertime fun. From the friendly seaside city of Ocean Shores, and the riverside city of Washougal, to the eclectic cities of Tacoma and Puyallup, the Washington Coast is a premier destination for travelers this spring. Head to Washougal, set along the Columbia River and only 20 minutes east of Vancouver, and check out the Two Rivers Heritage Museum. Make the scenic drive into Vancouver, and tour the Pearson Air Museum. Plan for Tacoma – April 14 is the Gray Sky Blues Festival. Get out and explore the wonderful Washington coast.

Known as “Washington’s First Community,” Tumwater is a charming city just half an hour from Tacoma. Home to the Olympic Flight Museum, Tumwater is a premier spring and summertime destination. Whether you’re looking for small town charm, or an interesting place to stop while on your way to Seattle, Tumwater can’t be topped. Don’t miss out on some local Tumwater and history – take a tour of the Henderson House Museum.

Less than 10 minutes north of Tumwater is Olympia. Make the short drive on April 17 for the Procession of the Species event. “Creating cultural connections between communities and the natural world,” Procession of the Species will be held in downtown Olympia.

Dubbed the “city of friendly people,” the city of Kelso is a prime example of small town scenery and charm, but with plenty of modernity. Also rich in natural history, be sure to visit Mount St. Helens Volcanic Monument – nearly 110,000 acres of pristine land established in 1982, and just a short drive from Kelso. Be sure to check out the wide selection of outdoor adventure in Washington. Play a round of 18 at Three Rivers Golf Course, or check out the Cowlitz County Historical Museum.

Ocean Shores is a pleasant coastal city, set just along the Pacific Ocean in coastal Washington. Home to the Ocean Shores Interpretative Center, and Ocean Shores State Park, spring and summer yield excellent traveling conditions in Ocean Shores. On March 24, make plans for the 6th Annual Oceans Shores Razor Clam Festival, held at the Ocean Shores Convention Center.

Tacoma, known as the “City of Destiny,” is a fine place to visit during spring and summer. Enjoy fine summer weather with a stroll around Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium. First opened in 1950, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge is a landmark of Tacoma and the Washington coast. There’s much to see and do along the Washington coast – get out and explore.
