Thish is a Seattle mom and part-time explorer who posts family day trips, free seasonal events and local finds. Thish's top fall day trip is Leavenworth, about 2 hours and 118 miles from Seattle, with the Highway 2 drive and Oktoberfest on Oct 16-17 (kids 12 and under free). For a closer cozy town, Thish points to Edmonds, a short drive north with historic street lamps and walkable storefronts. Mount Rainier (Paradise), Deception Pass and Stevens Pass / Skykomish round out the fall color drives. Last checked October 29, 2026.
