Ready for summer but low on cash? Washington has got your back with vacation spots so cheap, your piggy bank will squeal with joy! Forget the expensive hotels - these places are all about budget-friendly fun, beauty, and bragging rights (even if your beach hair looks like you fought a seagull).
Here are Five Fast Facts on cheap summer vacations in Washington State:
- 💧 Snoqualmie Falls - This scenic town is one of the most visited places in Washington, and for good reason. The views are incredible, and the falls are twice as high as Niagara Falls (that East Coast wannabe…)!
- 🌷 Go Botanical - Mercer Island is a great spot between Seattle and Bellevue for those who want a taste of the quiet country life. But there are plenty of music festivals to keep you jammin’ all summer long, too. While you’re in the neighborhood, check out the Bellevue Botanical Gardens, which boasts free admission. It’s eye candy for, well, your eyes, and your wallet will be grateful, too!
- 🐴 Get Wild - Wildwood Farm Bed and Breakfast is where you want to be for cheap prices and priceless views. Join in the hay rides, hiking, and horseback riding all day long, without breaking the bank.
- 🐟 Whidbey Island - This island has loads of free festivals: kite contests, dog parades, Shakespeare in the park, and more! It’s loaded with history, too, as well as some of the best seafood in the state. Your calendar’s gonna explode (in a good way)!
- 🎶 Leavenworth - Come visit this Bavarian-themed village filled with cabins, folk music, arts and theater, and bratwurst—no passport needed!
🔥Bottom line: So ditch the luxury resorts—Washington's budget vacation spots are calling! Whether you’re beachcombing, clam-diving, ferry-hopping, or dancing at a dog festival, these gems prove you don’t need a money tree to make summer epic. Just pack your sunscreen, sense of adventure, and maybe some lederhosen for good measure!
