Washington Spot Crowned 'Most Charming Small City' In The State

America has no shortage of major cities and tourist-heavy destinations that draw in millions of visitors every year, and while always deserving of a visit, it's worth noting how the small towns found throughout the country add character and flavor to the U.S.

Washington is home to some noteworthy small towns, destinations that offer a quiet beauty thanks to the natural scenery, friendly atmosphere and one-of-a-kind attractions that shine bright enough to draw visitors in to experience something they may not find in a bigger city.

LoveExploring compiled a list of the "most charming small city" in every state, ranking the destinations that "offer the culture, charm, and character" of big cities but with a more "laid-back" vibe. According to the site, the top choice for Washington is Olympia. This spot has charm in spades — plenty of local history, unique attractions and breathtaking nature views.

Here's what LoveExploring had to say about this spot full of "small city charm":

"While Seattle often steals the spotlight, relaxed Olympia has plenty to offer, including an impressive music scene. A tour of the Washington State Capitol is a great way to dive into local history, while outdoor adventures like hiking Mount Rainier, spotting dolphins at Puget Sound, and sampling craft beers round out the experience."
