Spooky Hikes, Haunted History, Small Town Escapes, and Fall Seafood Steal the Spotlight
WASHINGTON’S EVERGREEN COAST– October 2025 brought a wave of national and regional media features highlighting Washington’s Evergreen Coast.

The month opened with national spooky‑season buzz as Terradrift featured Ilwaco’s North Head Lighthouse Loop among its “10 Haunted Hikes to Celebrate the Spooky Season.” The story showcased Cape Disappointment’s fog‑shrouded cliffs, maritime myths, and atmospheric autumn scenery.
