Welcome to Pacific Northwest and Beyond! We’re a blog featuring a crunchy, granola-like mixture of travel, Pacific Northwest content, outdoor activities and gear, photography posts, stuff about foreign language, and more.
In our minds, these are all things related to exploring the world. But the PNW is our backyard and we love it here.
Of course, we’re not out exploring at the moment due to COVID-19 but we’re taking the time to clean up our blog and plan to get back to posting very soon.
One of the features on this website has been an events calendar. Currently, events have all gone online due to COVID-19 and we’ve added a few. But events on our calendar currently may be out of date — please doublecheck anything you see there.
We've struggled to keep up with event changes on our calendar, but just went through and cleaned it up for Summer events through the Autumn Equinox. Here are Summer events that we normally list on our calendar that have been cancelled and postponed until 2021, turned into virtual events, or which are still planning on proceeding. Followed by a list of some suggestions of things you CAN do this Summer.

Here's more about this interesting area of Versailles, that I actually enjoyed visiting more than the Hall of Mirrors.
I got a lesson in hammock camping from some avid hammock campers. Here's what I found out: what you need as well as some things to consider.
