Welcome to the Revisiting Washington blog! The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, together with our fabulous project partners, created this interactive guide to entice would-be travelers to get out there and explore the wonders of our beautiful state. We don’t mean racing along I-5 or I-90 at breakneck speed. We mean taking it easy and enjoying the ride via the scenic byways – which we affectionately call the s-l-o-w—r-o-a-d-s. As Washington’s statewide historic preservation advocacy organization, we spend a lot of time traveling throughout the state. But it wasn’t until we drove the s-l-o-w—r-o-a-d-s while working on this project that we realized how much of our amazing state we were simply passing by in our haste to get from point A to point B. Roadside chapels, waterfalls, a house constructed entirely out of flotsam, Grange halls, hot springs, Washington’s (perhaps the world’s?) largest frying pan – it’s all out there, waiting for you to marvel at, just like we did! So, fill up that tank (yikes!), pack some snacks, grab your map and copy of the guide, and get out there on the open road! Then, come back and tell us all about the cool and unusual things you encountered along the way. We’re sure we only scratched the surface of what’s out there and we want to know what we missed!
