Meredith Charaba is ParentMap’s Family Fun Editor. She has lived in Washington state for more than a decade, first calling Seattle home before moving to Marysville. Originally from the Midwest, she is in constant awe of the mountains, forest and water of the Pacific Northwest, and can’t imagine raising her family anywhere else. She loves going on adventures with her husband, toddler and two dogs. When she’s not hiking kid-friendly trails or finding opportunities to play at nearby museums, you can find her grabbing a coffee before picking out books at the local library.
