Do an online search, and you’ll see that one state always tops the lists for being the most pet-friendly state in the country: Washington.
Over half of the rental units in Washington allow pets and 63 percent of Washingtonians live with a furry, feathered, or scaley friend. Teeming with wild areas to explore, from islands in Puget Sound to mountainous regions east of Seattle and down to the Columbia River Gorge, there are plenty of trails to blaze with a dog by your side.
The only downside of having a dog in the family is watching his or her tail sag and smile disappear when the suitcases come out. Luckily, there are plenty of amazing pet-friendly cabins in Washington State that not only allow dogs, but consider them VIPs: Very Important Pets. When packing for your next trip, you can tell your pup, “you get to come, too,” and watch her jump into the backseat, tail wagging and ready to go.
