WA as a winter vacation destination hasn't hit the big time yet. How old are your kids? Do you/they ski? Better states for skiing, but there's no accounting for taste. Do you and your family fish for winter steelhead? Winter blackmouth? If none of these, you're screwed. Most WA residents take their winter vacations (except steelheading and blackmouth for some) to places more southerly like the SW states, Mexico, or Hawaii.
