In Washington, it’s easy to get lost in the towering trees that stretch for miles. It’s the perfect escape for anyone looking to take a break from technology and reconnect with the outdoors. Spring is especially magical, when animals emerge and the forests come alive. And don’t worry, once you’re ready to dive back into the modern world, Washington has you covered as home to tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft.
To be lucky enough to call two places home is surreal. Going back and forth from busy Los Angeles to quiet Harstine Island is the perfect balance for anyone craving a slower pace of life. Out here, the nearest grocery store is thirty minutes away, a small price to pay for evenings surrounded by trees and silence. My home, built from the ground up, sits nestled among evergreens, where the air is crisp, the skies are clear, and the world feels a little simpler.
From the calm waters of Puget Sound to the endless forests that stretch for miles, Washington offers options for every personality, whether you crave peaceful nature, vibrant city life, or a bit of both. Every corner feels like a reminder of how beautiful slowing down can be.
