I am not familiar with all the areas, but I know Ellensburg, WA. I drive through it every time I head to the lake house and had 2 buddies that went to Central Wash University. I am a bit surprised that it is considered a vacation hot spot. It is a wind swept and dry plain. The winds coming down from the Cascades can be brutal, especially in the winter.
You are 54 miles to Snoqualmie Pass for skiing. Seems a stretch to me. Discussion time!

Quote from @Michael Baum:
I don't know if it was or not. I order for it to be generated by AI, it would have to have data points to build the list.
Seeing as there are several areas that don't make any sense, there aren't data points to support it.
I am guessing someone just tossed it together with little info and even less review.
I know a few places on the list. Georgetown SC is far from anything anyone would want to do. Places that are popular are popular for a reason. Whoever wrote this acts like it was an accident that popular places got popular, that people just somehow forgot to check these places out.
