Free Things to do in Washington State!

Trying to maximize your travel plans? I have a great list of fun things you can do while in Washington State for free!

If you are looking for more of the typical touristy things to do I would suggest checkout out the Seattle City Pass for great savings!

• Pike Place Market

• Selfie at the Gum Wall

• Take in Tumwater Falls

• Explore art and nature at the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle

• Watch as the ships go by at Ballard Locks (keep an eye out for fish too)

Best time to visit Washington State? The July–September high season is the best time for warm, dry days. July and August are the warmest and driest months in Washington and its high season.

I highly suggest checking Washington State Fair if you are able to! Their main fair is in September and they do also have a Spring Fair in April.
