Each spring the Washington Lodging Association publishes our state’s definitive travel resource, and this year the Official Washington State Visitors’ Guide will wow nearly one million readers with an introduction to Washington’s state and national parks, hiking and biking ideas and Washington trips of a lifetime.Published in partnership with the Washington Tourism Alliance and SagaCity Media Inc., the 2015 Visitors’ Guide engages both first-time visitors and seasoned Washington travelers. It is featured at visitor centers and tourist locations in nine states. It is also prominently displayed on newsstands and at checkout counters at key retailers such as Barnes & Noble, QFC and Whole Foods. In April it arrived at the homes of 65,000 subscribers to the Seattle Met and Portland Monthly magazines.

Even more prospective travelers are connecting with the Visitors’ Guide online on ExperienceWA.com, which the Washington Tourism Alliance operates as the state’s destination marketing website, and on StayInWashington.com, WLA’s consumer website. Travelers also read the Visitors’ Guide in versions optimized for iPads, Android tablets, and smartphones or have a copy sent by mail.

See why the Visitors’ Guide is in such high demand by reading it online or ordering your own free copy.
