Trying to fill 2-3 days somewhere on the west coast (will be coming from Seattle before coming back to the Midwest). Was thinking San Diego maybe - what is there to do in San Diego? Would it be fun solo? Any other places I should go instead? Basically have a full week off after 4th of July, thought I would just chill at home but now realizing I probably want to spend at least some of that time going somewhere.

Portland, Oregon and surroundings is amazing and not too far from Seattle. So much to do! Tons of amazing food, breweries, art, culture. Willamette Valley wine country is better than Napa and Sonoma in my opinion and very accessible. Lots of good hiking options too!

@Deloitte2 we stayed in the city @ hotel rose. They had parking and it was a great central location that we could walk a ton of places, including a self guided brewery tour through the city! We just drove down to Willamette for the day since a my husband isn’t a huge drinker so I got to drink and he drove. I think they do day trips too from the city with a group where they will go to a few wineries and you don’t have to worry about driving. I know there are quite a few cute bnbs and some hotels in McMinnville, which is close to a lot of the wineries. There are also some really good restaurants there. Agree with Director 1 with Cannon Beach on the coast if you have time! A weird thing we did that we really loved was have breakfast at Bob’s Red Mill. Their biscuits are AMAZING.

How much time do you have in Seattle? Are you already exploring the area and this is afterwards?

July is usually when summer starts in Seattle. If you’re open to a side trip vs flying somewhere else, I recommend the San Juan Islands or Olympic National Park. Or if Canada opens up by then, take a trip to Victoria.
