Northwest TripFinder Turns Ten!
When I started Northwest TripFinder as a hobby travel blog in April 2008, the aim was to share my favorite places for weekend getaways in the Pacific Northwest. As my family hiked mountain trails, camped in the woods, sipped wine in tasting rooms and slept in funky B&B’s, I blogged about it all to bring my readers useful tips when planning unique trips of their own, from lovely Gahr Farm near McMinnville to the yurts at Cape Disappointment. I’m so grateful to all of our readers who have found Northwest TripFinder to be a place for local travel inspiration over the years, especially those of you who have been traveling along with us since the very beginning! Here’s to ten more years of offbeat, affordable adventures in our Pacific Northwest!
