Washington State has such a diverse range of natural wonders. Hundreds of unspoiled islands dot the ocean, mountains rise up shaped by ancient volcanic eruptions and are smothered in eerie forests. From the Rocky Mountains in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, the Evergreen State harbours an abundance of natural beauty.

Undoubtedly, this is a state which begs for exploration. Although a city break to incredible Seattle is in itself, a joy, if you have additional time and a passion for adventure, then take a fly drive or a fully-escorted motorcoach tour and see the beautiful towns and intricate locations which make Washington State the true wonder that it is.

Seattle

Curved around the shore of Elliott Bay, with Lake Washington and the snow-capped peak of Mount Rainier framing the skyline, lies Seattle with its eclectic cafes, restaurants and music scene. Shopping too abounds, from small designer boutiques to the modern malls of Pacific Place. Explore Pike Place Market, relax at a street-side cafe or stroll the waterfront.

Everyone should experience the Space Needle and Pike Place Market at least once, but those aren’t the only draws worth a visit. Seattle has so much to offer, from major attractions to unexpected surprises. Take in stunning views from vantages around town, including Kerry Park and the Seattle Great Wheel on the waterfront. Learn all about the region’s deep aviation roots among the vintage airplanes and spacecraft at the Museum of Flight. Feel the wind on your face as you cruise across Puget Sound on a Washington State Ferry. Sip offerings from more than 100 different Washington wineries in nearby Woodinville. Or peer up at more than a thousand colorful glass discs suspended overhead in Chihuly Garden and Glass. Seattle is a sightseer’s paradise.

National Parks of Washington State

Mount Rainier National Park

Dominating the skyline southeast of Seattle, Mount Rainier National Park is home to the state’s most iconic peak, a massive, glacier-capped volcano rising 14,410 feet above sea level. The park offers an extraordinary mix of alpine meadows, ancient forests, and icy glaciers. Visitors can explore more than 260 miles of hiking trails, from gentle walks through wildflower meadows in Paradise to challenging climbs up to the Muir Snowfield. Waterfalls tumble down rugged cliffs, and wildlife such as black bears, marmots, and elk are frequently seen. In winter, the park transforms into a wonderland for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, making it a year-round destination.

Olympic National Park

Spanning nearly a million acres on the Olympic Peninsula, Olympic National Park is one of the most ecologically diverse in the U.S. It encompasses everything from wild Pacific coastline and temperate rainforests to snow-capped mountain ranges. The lush Hoh Rain Forest, draped in moss and ferns, feels otherworldly, while the rugged beaches of Rialto and Ruby Beach offer dramatic sea stacks and tidal pools teeming with marine life. In the interior, the Olympic Mountains rise sharply, offering alpine lakes and breathtaking views from Hurricane Ridge. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is also a haven for wildlife, including Roosevelt elk, sea otters, and bald eagles, making it a true natural treasure.

North Cascades National Park

Often called the “American Alps,” North Cascades National Park is a rugged wilderness of jagged peaks, turquoise lakes, and dense evergreen forests. It’s one of the least-visited national parks in the U.S., which adds to its unspoiled charm. The park boasts more than 300 glaciers and countless trails that cater to serious hikers and climbers seeking solitude. Diablo Lake, with its surreal blue-green waters, is a standout sight, and the North Cascades Highway offers panoramic views ideal for scenic drives. Remote and wild, this park embodies the adventurous spirit of Washington’s backcountry, where nature reigns supreme.

A state for exploration

Comprising a myriad of regions, each has its own unique personality. The Olympic Peninsula brims with natural wonders, as does the mystical Volcanoes Region and the dramatic Gorge Region. But also head to Wine Country, where vineyards overflow with award winning vintages and the North Cascades Region which benefits from a beautiful coastline looking out to the San Juan Islands which were fought over by the Canadians and Americans, both wanting these beautiful isles for themselves.

If you're looking to venture further afield, Washington makes a perfect combination with Oregon, sitting to the south. Joined, they make an area named the Pacific Northwest.
