Hi! I’m Meeshka
I’m a Washington local who lives just twenty minutes from the Olympic Peninsula and two hours from the Cascade Mountains.
Lucky me—I get to explore Olympic National Park and Mount Rainier year-round. Lucky you if you’re planning a trip to this incredible region.
Here, you’ll find firsthand boots-on-the-ground travel tips and guides from someone who explores these parks in every season.
