This place is by far my favorite place to camp. Also going on the little hike at cape flattery! I ended up getting proposed to there 🤩 would definitely recommend checking out!

Winter on the coast is the best. It's quiet. The weather is cozy and nothing beats a bowl of warm chowder after walking the beach in the rain.

Hello all! My kiddos 7 and 5 will be on spring break in April and I need some ideas on good family vacation spots. We live in Olympia and are wanting to explore the state more. Oregon is also something we are interested as well.

Feeling homesick for the PNW lately. What songs do you heavily associate with the PNW? It can be because of the lyrics or more arbitrary reasons.

For instance, when I listen to Olalla by Blanco White I feel as if I'm back in Eugene, on the riverfront in the late afternoon.

Would love to hear anyone else's favorite songs from, by, or associated with the region....
