People are truly spoiled for choice when it comes to travel options in the United States. Because there are so many high-profile sites and cities attracting millions of visitors each year, travelers may not consider some hidden gem destinations. We're talking about the tucked-away beach towns, mountainside hamlets, lakeside getaways, and quaint communities between major urban hubs. That's not to say they don't have many amazing things to offer tourists, from museums and outdoor adventures to cultural festivals and beloved restaurants.
Cheapism revealed the most underrated town in every state. Writers combed through online reviews and rankings to determine their picks. They also considered cultural attractions, outdoor activities, dining and shopping options, cost of living, and other factors.
According to the website, Washington State's most overlooked town is Redmond! While it's known as a massive tech hub with Microsoft and Nintendo of America there, people can also explore the nearby wilderness or local cultural events. Writers explained why they featured this fascinating spot:
"Bustling and connected, downtown Redmond is home to 10,000 jobs and 6,000 residents, whom you'll see zooming by on bikes, on foot, and on buses. Venture just a bit outside of the downtown area, however, and you'll be able to lose yourself in an outdoor paradise of streams, rivers, forests and all the other wilderness you'd expect from the Great Northwest."
