You want to get away from all the drama.

Whether it’s the hustle and bustle of the big city or your neighbors.

You long for a place that reminds you of the simpler times.

Where can you go? Someplace like Mayberry from the Andy Griffith Show, but you know… with Wi-Fi.

Betway decided to crunch the numbers, scanning a wide variety of metrics, including landmarks, museums, parks, etc., and examining the positives of each.

They were searching for the ultimate place of Americana.

The Most Charming Small Town In North America!

I’d love to say that Betway’s research narrowed down a city in Washington to claim the top spot, but sadly, no, not this time.

We did, however, have two of our towns in the top 20!

Even one of them broke the top 5!

Before discussing the most charming small towns in our backyard, let’s talk about Betway’s pick for the top small town!

That title belongs to Decatur, Georgia! Have you ever heard of it? If not, that’s probably one of the reasons it’s a charming small town!

With 21 parks, 10 art galleries, four museums, and six different landmarks, it’s no wonder how that grabbed the top spot on the list.

The Most Charming Small Towns in Washington!

Out of all of North America, coming in at #15 is Oak Harbor, Washington.

With 14 parks, 3 art galleries, and a handful of museums and landmarks, as well as the beauty that the city has to offer, it’s no wonder it ranks so high.

They’re good, but not #5 good or #3 if you forget about Canada (which isn’t hard to do).

That honor goes to Bainbridge Island!

Just 10 miles from Seattle, across Elliot Bay, Bainbridge rocks the 2nd most parks in the USA with 20 and 6 landmarks (3rd most in the country).

Add to that the beauty of the surrounding greenery and water, this is indeed one of the Most Charming Towns in Washington, let alone, North America!
