Welcome to Special Places!

Here you find great editorials on the very best of the privately owned places to stay, wineries to visit and activities to enjoy in the Pacific Northwest.

If you enjoy good quality and value, you need look no further as this site can be your own "Quality Search Engine." We have taken the time and effort to personally visit every place and what we have to say is accurate, realistic and continually updated.
