Explore Washington State exists to answer one question: “What is it like to live in (insert community name here)?” That’s only one question, but filling in the blank with diverse communities like Gig Harbor or Wenatchee or Ocean Shores can completely change the answer. In pursuit of answering that question, Explore Washington State is designed as a platform that makes it fun and easy to learn more about specific areas of the state. That sometimes takes role of blog posts, videos, community involvement and feedback, informative pages about employment or schools in the area or photos of the region. All of these are provided with the goal of giving you a sense of what makes each location special and unique, as well as providing insight into the common threads that run through all Washington State communities.
