There’s no denying that we’ve been living through some strange times. But as we prepare to welcome another beautiful Pacific Northwest summer, we can’t help but be thankful for how far we’ve come. This year, spend our sunniest season exploring Washington — especially the beach. We’re lucky to live in a coastal state, and summers are meant to be spent by the sea.
Pacific Beach State Park spans 17 acres and offers over 2,300 feet of shoreline. The beach is located in Grays Harbor County, and it's a spectacular place to spend a day.
Seabrook is an idyllic coastal community colonial-style homes sitting high above the sea. The local beach is a few steps away from town, and it's fantastic.
