Fun Day Trips Near Seattle, WA

Sometimes you have a hankering to go on a trip, but you don’t have the time to get on a plane. Here are some fun and local day trip ideas!
If you want to see some city stuff: Pikes Place Market in Seattle. You can watch them throw the fish. Eat some cheese at Beechers and get a cup o' joe at the first Starbucks. Visit the gum wall. It's as cool and as gross as it sounds.
If you want to see more nature stuff: Snoqualmie Falls. It’s an easy place to walk up to. You park across the street and take a pedestrian bridge.
If you want to see some beautiful islands in the Puget Sound: Visit the San Juan Islands. Taking a ferry boat is part of the experience. Or you can do a whale watching tour!
If you like bridges: Deception Pass. It will seriously WOW you. It's the only non-ferry way to get to Whidbey Island, which has some cool historic military bases (as well as an active Navy base). Fort Casey is situated in Coupeville on the west side of the island. Go explore some old decommissioned military bunkers. Bring a flashlight.
If you want to see WA from above: Visit Snohomish! We have hot air balloon rides and skydiving!
If you're into brats and beer: Visit Leavenworth. It's a quaint Bavarian village in the mountains. This is a great town to visit in the summer or the winter. Summer offers river floats and warm weather. The wintertime offers horse-drawn sleigh rides and Christmas lights!
