I don’t really have what anyone would call an “outdoorsy” inclination. I’m very much a housecat homebody prone to losing steam on the first mile of a hike. But on many Washington forest walks, there’s a point at which I feel as though I have passed from one room to another, and suddenly the air takes on a different, cooler, lighter character, and the tree coverage gets denser. Those are the moments I haul myself off the living room couch for.

August sipped away
Like a bottle of wine
In 2015, my fiancé and I took a weeklong road trip around western Washington. As shared here in this fall’s Washington Trails Magazine, that experience left such a mark that it drove our decision to move to Seattle four years later.
The natural beauty of Washington state is made accessible in large part by the Washington Trails Association and the work they do to maintain safe, sustainable, and beautiful trails on public lands.
As a member, I give to the org and receive educational materials to with recreating responsibly in the great northwest. If you also benefit from the efforts of the WTA, please consider giving back!
