The Washington Haunted Trail

Washington's hauntings split along the Cascades. Puget Sound cities lean toward Victorian hotels and civic landmarks, while the dry side of the state carries mining-town inns, a mountain lodge set below a peak that has claimed hundreds of lives over the decades, and old military posts along the Columbia. Port Townsend alone holds enough documented deaths across its preserved downtown to anchor its own weekend on foot. The featured loop threads the I-5 corridor for a tight, walkable weekend, though well over a hundred venues sit outside that route for anyone crossing the mountains toward Spokane or the coast.
