Woodinville Patch Seeks Vacation, Travel Bloggers

The official start to summer is June 21, which means school is nearly out and it’s time to go on an adventure. 

Let Patch readers travel vicariously through you by sharing your travel experiences and memories. Staying closer to home all summer? Re-aquaint yourself with what the Pacific Northwest has to offer, and let your neighbors know what they are missing out on. If you're not a fan of writing, feel free to make it a photography blog.
