Washington offers a wide range of choices, from chain hotels and intimate bed-and-breakfasts to family-run inns and resort hotels. There are resorts to suit all tastes: Choose one with forest-shrouded cottages filled with handcrafted furniture and a huge fireplace or one of the many properties with activities such as tennis, golf, spa facilities and skiing.
Famous for its spectacular perch on a 268-ft/82-m cliff, Salish Lodge in Snoqualmie offers fine dining and views of the falls. Book well ahead during the busy summer months. For something a little different, rent a yurt at Fort Canby State Park, near Ilwaco. These large tents, which originated in Central Asia, can sleep six and (unlike the Asian originals) come with electricity, as well as beds and furniture.
