If you’re more of the outdoorsy type of family, you should spend your vacation in Washington among nature instead. Travelers looking for a cooler summer vacation will love the mild temperatures at Olympic National Park, which boasts plenty of pretty beaches, hiking trails, and other summer vacation ideas for families. If you have animal lovers in the family, don’t miss a trip to Northwest Trek Wildlife Park in Eatonville, Washington. It’s also one of the best animal safaris on the West Coast! Washington is also home to some extremely cute towns. Visit Leavenworth, Washington, only 2.5 hours away from Seattle. Considered one of the most charming towns in the United States, families visiting here can see Lake Wenatchee State Park. Also known as the “Village Of Lights” during the winter, Leavenworth is a wonderful Christmas town for families too. Go ice skating, snow tubing, or just wander the cobblestone streets!
