Washington

Positioned between two of the Pacific Northwest’s best-known cities, this waterfront destination makes for an easy stop—or even a rewarding weekend stay.

You may know Washington as the Evergreen State, but it’s the high-desert plains, geysers and volcanic peaks that perhaps best show what the state is all about.

This beautiful island sits at the northern edge of Washington’s San Juan archipelago, reachable by ferry from Anacortes in about an hour. The crossing alone sets the tone.

Long regarded as the economic and cultural heart of the Inland Pacific, this often-overlooked city rewards visitors with far more than expected.

Widely considered to be one of the best places to live in the States, this beautiful city lies just to the east of Seattle, tucked away in between Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish.

Washington is best known for its biggest city of Seattle, but the Evergreen State is also home to a staggering number of scenic destinations.

Part mountains, part dense forests, part rugged, intricate coastline, Washington lies on the border with Canada and features all the natural beauty you could wish for in America’s Pacific Northwest.

The kind of beach holiday you’ll get in Washington is not the sun and surf beach holiday you’ll get in California – it’s something else entirely.

If you’ve eyed Napa or Sonoma but crave something smaller, less crowded, and friendlier on your wallet, this place makes a solid argument.

Set in one of the most scenic spots of any city in the States, Seattle is located on a narrow isthmus in between the shimmering waters of Puget Sound and Lake Washington.

Appropriately known as the Evergreen State, Washington is awash with pristine nature, spellbinding scenery and dramatic landscapes.

Just across the Columbia River from Portland, this scenic city blends natural beauty with a rich historical backdrop.

Set on the Pacific Northwest coast of the States, Washington is home to a fascinating array of different landscapes.

Along the rugged Pacific Northwest coast, this vast wilderness showcases a remarkable mix of glacial peaks, cascading waterfalls, and dramatic shorelines.
