I’m addicted.

I love the coast

We live in the Olympia area. My daughter is turning 30 and I want to do something special for her. She loves Christmas time and Leavenworth is one of her favorite places to go. Well not only is it super expensive but we’ve been there so much. She wanted to go somewhere new.
Is there any other towns within maybe a 5 Hour drive or train ride that is similar to Leavenworth?
