The Evergreen State has it all, temperate rainforests and rugged shores with culture and sophistication close by. Washington is the outdoor state and still manages to remain unspoilt by tourism, whilst having all the facilities imaginable to make it a fantastic holiday destination. There are three national parks Olympic, Mount Rainier and the North Cascades which between them offer beautiful quiet beaches, giant forests, remote coves, swift salmon-rushing rivers, plenty of wildlife, waterfalls, lakes and magnificent volcanoes.
Seattle is a sophisticated city with a casual pace and is surrounded by water. Home of 'Frasier' and 'Sleepless in Seattle', it is a compact walking city where you can find great restaurants, famous sights, many attractions for all ages and cultural arts all within the downtown area where you can ride the buses for free. The city is the gateway to Washington State, the Olympic Peninsula and the Pacific Northwest.
