Where snow-cloaked volcanoes, temperate rainforests, and rocky tidepools coexist, Washington packs multiple worlds into one state. Summit-gaze at Mount Rainier, ferry to the San Juan Islands to spot orcas, or wander moss-draped trails in Olympic National Park. Eastern Washington flips the script with sunny vineyards and sagebrush desert. Top it off with freshly caught salmon by the campfire and you’ll see why locals never leave.
