Known as the “Gateway to the Olympic Peninsula” and the birthplace of grunge, Aberdeen is a culturally rich base camp where you can trace Nirvana’s roots or launch endless outdoor adventures. With the Chehalis River running through town and the rugged coast just minutes away, it’s an ideal spot for those who want to fish, kayak, and explore the rainforests on their days off.
For a change of pace, the state capital of Olympia is less than 50 miles away, offering a vibrant downtown, larger population, and extensive dining and shopping options.
