If it were warmer I would be back already 5 rating By roadtripgirl ( Mar 29, 2015) I grew up in Washington. We left when my husband joined the army. We go back and visit when we can.
It is a charming, quaint, and darling town. The town square is gorgeous and you can sit by the fountain and watch people walking around the square enjoying the many shops that ...Read More surround the center square.
You must visit Holland's Mercantile. An old fashioned candy store.
I miss it all the time and would be back if it weren't for the cold and snow. We have 3 adopted disabled children and the snow and wheelchairs are just to hard to deal with.
Definitely a must see if your looking for a new place to live. Read Less
