Washington State is home to both natural and manmade wonders - from volcanoes to the Space Needle, you can see it all in Washington.
Visit Olympic National Forest - or maybe the Hoh/Quinault Rain Forests. Tide pools, ancient forests, glaciers and even one of the world's only coniferous rain forests! If you enjoy nature, this is definitely a must-see!
Washington houses the infamous Mount St Helens which blew her lid (literally) in May of 1980 - ash fell as far as 300 miles away and even 25 years later, the healing process is just beginning for nature. There are a number of visitor centers along State Route 504, which is just a few miles from the crater - the experience is both educational and awe-inspiring.
You can also visit the symbol that represents Seattle - the Space Needle. Designed by Edward E. Carlson on a placemat in a coffeehouse in 1962, this amazing structure has an observation deck and revolving restaurant which allows you to gaze at the city from an amazing height of more than 500 feet.
More natural beauty can be found just 15 miles east of Bellevue - Snoqualmie Falls. These amazing falls have a 268 foot downfall of water - almost 100 feet higher than Niagra falls!
There are many, many more things to see and do while in Washington - mentioned here was but a small handful of some of the amazing things to entertain and enthrall you while in Washington!
