Story by Lauren (Ren)
Carnation Destination
Adventure in Carnation, Greater Seattle, WA, US
My boyfriend accidentally mixed up his schedule, meaning I had to travel by myself to this getaway. The result was a beautiful, solo trip in the most inviting and cozy space I've ever been in! Tucked away in a quiet area of the PNW, it was a breathtaking way to escape my busy day-to-day life and had the comfiest bed I've ever slept in – seriously, this thing was amazing. The quiet, warm space meant I could rest contentedly between exploring the area with its market and waterfalls.
Things We Did
- Waterfall
- Town
Franklin Falls can be found in a beautiful corner of Snoqualmie Falls. It allows your soul to breathe and take in Washington State's stunning natural beauty.
If you come close to Seattle, the market is a MUST in Pike's Place. From the first Starbucks location to the classic fish throwing, it is a beautiful representation of our classic city and will be sure to show you a good time!
Snoqualmie Falls is a must-see when visiting the area. For you more athletic types, there is a fair amount of hiking in the area, allowing you to truly be submerged in nature. For the ones who don't really want to hike, there are many paved paths and lookout spots for you to enjoy the gorgeousness that is the falls.
