Best Family Hotels in Washington State
Washington State is a vast and varied region, stretching from the Pacific coastline and the ski fields of the Cascade Mountains, to the more arid eastern border; and from the wine country around Walla Walla to the Colville National Forest in the north. So there’s a wonderful variety of backdrops for planning an active family holiday against. Trek, walk, ski, surf, sail, canoe, there’s a real wealth of family activities you could plan. And that’s before mentioning Seattle, with its fantastic foodie culture, rich cultural scene and fantastic museums - and it’s in a stunning spot on picturesque Elliot Bay. Bellingham, to the north is an excellent pick for outdoorsy families - who would prefer not to camp, while Port Angeles or the spectacular San Juan Islands are ideal for sailing, kayaking and whale spotting - or for families looking for an oceanfront hotel escape. Desert escapes, luxurious and otherwise, also make for memorable family holidays - and of course what’s not to love about a five star stay in Seattle?
