Cabins and lodging
- Jailhouse Bed & Breakfast
Jailhouse Bed & Breakfast Want to stay in a unique historic place? Historic Washington State Park has the perfect place. The Jailhouse Bed and Breakfast is a jailhouse that has been renovated with all the modern amenities. Check availability and reserve your room. The original jail was completed in 1873. It was a brick, one-story building with four jail cells. It housed criminals for offenses such as burglary, forgery, assault, assault with intent to kill, maiming, and seduction. A new two-story jail was completed in 1918 with six jail cells, and replaced the old jail and is the one used today as a bed and breakfast. Each of the eight rooms has a private bathroom, WiFi, and satellite TV. A continental breakfast is served.
