About the Wandering Washingtonian

Hikers. Travelers. PNW Lovers.

We’re Tressa and Kyle—husband and wife, best friends, and longtime adventure partners.

Together, we’ve hiked more than 150 trails, stayed in 100+ Airbnbs, and explored countless corners of Washington, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond.

We created Wandering Washingtonian to share honest hiking guides, detailed itineraries, and memorable places to stay—all based on places we’ve actually experienced ourselves.

Our goal is simple: help you spend less time researching and more time exploring.
