Ellie Kozlowski grew up in a suburb of Boston. She's lived in the Pacific Northwest for the better part of a decade. It is, she thinks, the best place to enjoy the desert, the rainforest, the ocean, and the mountains. She loves adventuring, hiking, stargazing, snowshoeing, and being a tourist in her own state. When she's not driving up a mountainside or along a coast, she's at home in Seattle with her partner and their dog.

Cute Towns
Leavenworth
Escape your day-to-day with a getaway to Leavenworth, a Bavarian-themed village in the Cascade Mountains. Take your time waltzing around Front Street Park, explore the charming shops in town, and then plunk yourself down for a pretzel, a bratwurst, and a local beer. Depending on the season, you might go skiing, whitewater rafting, museuming, or ziplining. The town hosts several festivals, including Oktoberfest, the Christmas Lighting Festival, and Bavarian Icefest. Whenever you make the trip, you’re sure to be delighted.
Poulsbo
Poulsbo, sometimes called “Little Norway,” is a beautiful seaside town on the Kitsap Peninsula. Views of Puget Sound are stunning, rain or shine, but if it’s clear you might catch Mt. Rainier and the Olympic Mountains. Walk along the marinas or on the boardwalk to visit shops, galleries, and museums. When you’re ready to get off your feet, simply stroll into any of the restaurants or breweries that dot the area. If you’re here to test the beer, try a pint at Slippery Pig or Valholl Brewing (dogs allowed in both).
The state-specific Day Trip Series of travel guides features a multitude of activities and destinations from all around a given state, organized by theme. Readers can choose what to do and then use a 5.5" x 8.5" book to find where to do it. With hundreds of options—presented in a colorful design with an easy-to-read block of text about each locale—readers can plan a day of enjoyment or string together a longer vacation. Full-color photography, a locator map on almost every spread, and the sites’ contact information further enhance the value of the Day Trip Series, with books priced below $20.
