Here We Are In August 2026

Do you remember what you have done 

in August of the past it what you are 

doing this year. Some people travel

in August. They are ones  who likely 

didn't in July or decided to take another 

travel. 

My brother travels for business. He did

so in July. Not sure his plans for August.

Those with children  want to travel before

school starts again.

I am sure there are those who plan to

travel in September.  Here in USA we

have Labor Day in the first weekend 

in September. Some may take a short

trip before school starts then too. 

Thise who have no children in school 

any longer may feel the end of August 

or in September is a good time to travel.

Here in Western Washington the weather 

is still very nice to travel here. 

Take a trip to the San Juan Islands the 

ferry rides can be busy during the summer.

The rnd if August or September is a good 

time to go. 

When I was a teenager I was in boy scouts.

We went on 50 mile hike in August in the

Olympic mountains. We always gave a co

uple 

extra days since it could rain and  not hike 

when it did. If no rain we still want to rest.

There are a lot of nice hikes in the Olympics 

as well as the Cascades that are not so long.

Make plsns to come sometime. 

The Hardest Part Of Travel

We know when we go traveling the beginning 

can be difficult or the return. The most is

when it happens on both ends.

When we are on vacation we want to have 

a great time especially if we are going 

somewhere for the first time.  If the

experience is bad we don't want to visit

again.

My worst experience is the airline losing

my luggage. It happened like four times 

in a row. I solved the problem by carry on

only. I didn't want to rely on the airlines

again.  If you haven't had the experience 

good for you. 

I am sure there are other experiences that 

have nothing to do with your luggage.  It

could be your car rental or many other

things. 

I don't want to make you feel bad so

enjoy your travel no matter what happens.

Learn from what happens.

Enjoy your next trip. Let ut be the best one

no matter what.  😊😊😊

Welcome To July

Here in Western Washington July is the

best month to travel here. The temperatures

are mild for the summer though can

get hot as it will this week.

Monday July 6th will be the last World 

Cup between USMNT and Belgium.

It won't be easy for the United States 

to win thiugh the crowd will be in

their favor.

The World Cup has been a success here 

people to come here on future vacations.

Meeting new friends from all over. 

If you have plans already find  your 

way here next year. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Western Washington Good Time To Travel

We are having hot weather thru Tuesday.

At least it is what we consider where

other places in the world may say it is

normal.

The weather is going to be nice 

through June 29th at least. I enjoy

with sun being out all this time.

Seattle will have a lot of visitors as

the World Cup comes for six matches

beginning June 15 through July 6.

They will be able to enjoy wonderful 

weather not only for the matches 

they watch but whatever else they

want to see. 

The Seattle Mariners have some fine 

baseball games while they are in

town. They have a home stand 

beginning on Tuesday. 

Whatever vacation you have planned

may you have a good time. 

Good Start To June

Here in Western Washington the 

weather has been summer like 

to begin with. 

Also it is hard to believe the

year is into it's sixth month 

already. 

I hope you have had some kind

of travel vacation or it's on the 

works..

Some people here have traveled

already to Arizona,  California 

of Hawaii. Cannon Beach on the

Oregon coast is popular for those

who go to our next store neighbor 

to the south.  British Columbia 

Canada  is about a two hour drive

ride from Seattle while the Washington 

coast is about three hours. 

Whatever your plans for June

or beyond have a good time.

Cannon Beach Oregon 

On and Off Again

Here in Western Washington the last

several years the weather has been

very good in May. 

This year we have had some good weather 

as well as some rain. Still good time to travel 

here. 

The San Juan Islands is a good place

to visit North of Seattle. It can be quite

crowded to take the ferries over to it

during the summer so prior to July

it won't be as crowded as much of

Washington often is.

To get to the islands is to take the 

ferries from Antecortes. It is 80 miles

northwest from Seattle. It is best to 

to make a reservation though you can 

go as a passager instead of going on

with a vehicle.  Best to make a reservation 

through the Washington Ferries website.

The trip on the ferry is between one and 

two hours. 

Whatever you do decide to do everywhere 

in Washington State is nice to see.

Visit Lake Chelan

One of the most popular places to

visit for those living in Western 

Washington is Lake Chelan.

It is located in North Eastern Washington.

It is about a four and a half drive from 

Seattle.   It is near Okanogan/Wenatchee 

National Forest. The city of Wenatchee 

is about an hour drive to Lake Chelan.

Lake Chelan is 50.5  miles long while

1.3 wide. It is the third deepest lake

in the United States. Only Crater Lake

in Oregon and Lake Tahoe are deeper.

Lake Chelan has a lot to see. There

are places to stay in the area. A

lot of people go boating too.

There are other places to visit in the

area as well. If you have time can go

up to British Columbia and Alberta 

as well.  Happy Travels.
