The drive to TreeHouse Point, about 30 minutes east of Seattle, takes you through a forest fit for hobbits, crowded full of fir, spruce, cedar, maple, and hemlock. Alongside the Raging River—yes, that’s its name—you get to a gate, punch in the secret code, and enter a realm where it’s perfectly normal to sleep in a tree, surrounded by clever carpentry and birdsong.
