7 Hidden Mountain Getaways In Washington Perfect For Beating The Summer Heat
Depending on what part of Washington you call home, you’ve probably suffered through a few triple digit degree days this summer, with more to come. And while we love this season, sometimes too much of a good thing is possible, and we need an escape. These hidden getaways sit nestled in the mountains, meaning temperatures are often slightly cooler — and, if nothing else, they’re all air conditioned.
