Evergreen Trails, Ferry Rides, and Rainy Day Revelations

Washington is layered - like a good flannel. You’ve got salt air and skyline, mountain passes and mossy forests, ferry terminals and pho joints.
It’s where travelers go to breathe a little deeper, roam a little slower, and find hostels that feel less like hotels and more like homebases.

This isn’t the fast-paced West Coast. This is the deep coast. The one with tidepools, bookstores, espresso-fueled chats, and strangers who become hiking partners by sundown.

Why Hostel in Washington?

Because Washington is best seen up close - with muddy boots, salty wind, and enough room in your budget for dumplings and detours.

Because a bunk near the mountains, ferry docks, or forest edge beats a lonely hotel room any day.

Because the hostels here are built by people who get it - the road, the pause, the reason you travel at all.

Hostels are sorted in alphabetic order and have their city/neighborhood directly below their name.
