With approximately 6.4 million people in the state, Washington is most often referred to as Washington State to distinguish it from the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C.
Washington State is known as the Evergreen State for it’s lush evergreen forests and the Cascade Mountain Range. There’s a lot to do and see throughout Washington State and many people travel to the region for vacationing year round. If you are planning a trip to Washington State, consider staying in a bed and breakfast instead of a hotel or motel—the benefits are wide of choosing a Washington B&B over more traditional accommodations.
A Washington B&B, also known as Washington bed and breakfast inns, are a type of boarding house that most often operates out of a large single family home. The guests at a Washington State bed and breakfast usually stay a night in a private bedroom and are fed breakfast in the morning. Breakfast can be served in the kitchen or dining room of the home or in some WA B&Bs is served right to the bedrooms. The rest rooms at a Washington State bed and breakfast inn can either be ensuite to each room or a shared bathroom. Most Washington State bed and breakfast inns are operated as the family’s primary occupation and some are only a secondary source of income. You can expect the staff at a Washington bed and breakfast will be the family members and owners of the home who live in the house full time. One of the chief advantages of a Washington bed & breakfast is getting to know the host. Keep in mind that they live in the area you are visiting and have a vast knowledge of the ins and outs of the place. It’s almost like having a built in tour guide to gain knowledge from.

Washington B&Bs can only accommodate two to 12 people or more at any given time—so they could fill up quickly. You should plan and make reservations a few months in advance to be sure you will have Washington bed and breakfast accommodations for your vacation.Bed and breakfast arrangements are as old as time—it was common well before the 20th century for travelers to stay in private homes instead of at a public inn, especially politicians and wealthy people. Today, many of the Washington bed and breakfast inns have reverted back to those days, using older homes that have been renovated and are often filled with beautiful antique furniture.

There are plenty of major cities and towns throughout Washington State and you can located a Washington B&B in or near one of them. However, it’s important to note that Washington bed and breakfasts are often more ‘off the beaten trail’ in more remote parts and in less populous areas, which means more difficulty navigating to the city center, but much easier to see a different Washington by staying in the more localized areas.

There are a lot of things that aren’t boasted about in the travel brochures that you will be able to access and know about through your local Washington bed and breakfast host and hostess. The point of view from your stay at a Washington bed and breakfast inn will be much different than if you were staying at a downtown hotel or motel—you will see more of the local flavor and culture of the area instead of just the tourist highlights that the media boasts about. The media doesn’t tend to boast about the quaint little bistro on the corner that serves the best ravioli in the world…but your host and hostess would know these little local ideas and places. Have fun during your trip to Washington and consider staying at a Washington bed and breakfast for your trip—you won’t be sorry you did!
