Having grown up in Washington, Andrea is a self-admitted Pacific Northwest snob. In their opinion, there's simply nowhere else in the country with the Evergreen State's beauty. After attending university, Andrea devoted themselves to writing full-time. They're thrilled to represent Washington for Only In Your State while pursuing other professional and personal projects. They currently reside in Olympia, where they enjoy leaf-blowing their yard, perfecting homemade ramen, cuddling with their three tiny dogs, and feeding their pufferfish, Sea Biscuit.
Summer’s here and it’s finally time to dust off those hiking boots in your closet. If you’re hunting for the best day hike in Washington, I recommend heading to Tuck and Robin Lakes near Skykomish. Nestled in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, this challenging route is either a one-day calf-burner or the best entry-level taste of backpacking you’ll find in the state.
