Pacific Northwest Holiday Pre-cation Ideas

« Read the full blog

A house full of relatives during the holidays can be a blast and a major source of stress. Every season I make a point to take a pre-cation, a local get-away that me helps me collect, calm, and center myself before the storm of bustling activity hits. I like to visit cozy towns, secluded mountain cabins, and even rainy beach resorts.

I wanted to share some of the great places I found while searching for this year’s pre-cation destination in the Pacific Northwest.
