For many people, the Thanksgiving holiday is a time for travel.

Heck, the film Planes, Trains, & Automobiles was a Thanksgiving film all about the journey home (and anything and everything that can go wrong with that trek).

Whether it’s a 20-minute drive to grandma’s to celebrate with family, or a 2-hour cross-state adventure to catch up with relatives from around the country, hopefully, your travel doesn’t turn out to be the misadventures that Steve Martin and the late great John Candy experienced in that 1987 film.

But what if you want to travel but don’t want to get the family involved?

Luckily, Washington has one of the perfect escapes for the celebratory turkey traveler according to CountryLiving.com!
