Rain and mountains, maybe that’s what you think Washington State is all about. Well, it’s so much more than that! You might have thought Seattle was right on the Pacific Ocean, but it’s actually separated by the million acre Olympic National Park and the salty Puget Sound, so it is waterfront! Seattle offers every imaginable caliber of Washington hotel you might require, so consider spending some time exploring this fun city. Eat the freshest food at Pike Place Market, ride to the top of the Space Needle for panoramic views or browse the Botanic Gardens at the University of Washington.

Directly east of Seattle, at the Montana State line, you will find the second largest city, Spokane. Smell the blooming lilacs, tee up at one of more than 30 golf courses and take a drive to the Coulee Dam, the largest hydropower producer in the United States. The capital, Olympia, is about an hour southwest of Seattle; visitors enjoy the many fine arts opportunities the city offers along with family-friendly attraction, Riverfront Park.

The cities of Washington are wonderful to visit, with all the amenities you would enjoy. However, it’s the expansive outdoors which truly shines! Mount St. Helens is an active volcano located in the western Cascades. If you are daring, you might enjoy a climb; however, every imaginable outdoor activity can be undertaken at the surrounding recreation areas. Following the Olympic Peninsula Waterfall Trail is a unique way of experiencing the ecosystem of Olympic National Forest. Visitors to nearby Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge might enjoy taking the several-hour, 10-mile round trip trek to its new Dungeness Light Station to explore a wildlife habitat. Another northwestern attraction is the San Juan Island National Historical Park which features evergreen forests, vast prairieland and orca whale sightings. Cast a line at Ross Lake in the North Cascades National Park Complex, and marvel at the wonders of Mother Nature’s hundreds of glaciers at the Canadian border.  

Discover glaciers, rainforests and hike the 93-mile Wonderland Trail at Mount Rainier National Park, in central Washington.  Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park contains a geologic wonder, a waterfall 3.5 miles wide and 400 feet high – now bone dry! This park is between Seattle and Spokane. Washington may seem a long way off, but the effort is definitely worth your while!

Mount Rainier National Park

The wildflower meadows at Paradise create phenomenal photographs; drive to the highest point possible in your vehicle on the Sunrise Road for an unforgettable vista, including Mount Rainier and Emmons Glacier. Hike the Wonderland Trail, take a guided snowshoe walk or give mountain climbing a try. Weather in the park is quite changeable, so be prepared! For convenience, use the shuttle service the end of June through the beginning of September. Find Discount Hotels near Mount Rainier National Park.

North Cascades National Park Complex

From valleys to peaks, waterfalls to glaciers, North Cascades combines with Ross Lake and Lake Chelan National Recreation Areas to create an outdoor lovers’ dream. Rugged climbing opportunities, boat tours of Diablo Lake, walking tours of a working apple orchard and horseback riding trails through the most incredible scenery are just some of the available activities.

Olympic National Park

Don’t let the park’s almost one million acres intimidate you, and don’t succumb to the temptation to just drive around on Hwy 101! Hikes bring you to beachside tidepools, waterfalls in old-growth forest and panoramic views from Hurricane Ridge. The only question is where to fish, with a selection of thousands of miles of rivers and streams, hundreds of lakes and tens of miles of Pacific Ocean Coast. Three distinct ecosystems offer something for every outdoor enthusiast! Find Discount Hotels near Olympic National Park.

San Juan Island National Historical Park

A blessed combination of an equable climate, rich soil and a sea full of delicacies, San Juan Island has thrived through the years. Visitors ferry over for the day from Victoria, British Columbia or Friday Harbor, Washington to enjoy breathtaking vistas, quiet forests and orca whale sightings. Six miles of shoreline as well as a network of trails are available for you to get out and explore. The bluff trails at American Camp are excellent; watch for some of the 18 varieties of raptors who call this park home. Find Discount Hotels near San Juan Island National Historical Park.

Sun Lakes Dry Falls State Park

Gape in wonderment at a 400-foot high, 3.5 mile stark cliff which was once an enormous waterfall – Dry Falls is amazing! The area is now filled with lakes, an oasis amidst a desert, offering recreational boating, trout fishing and swimming. Wildlife viewing, hiking and mountain biking are all favorites; hit the links at a 9-hole golf course while the kids play a miniature course.
