Washington showcases the very best of the Pacific Northwest, where snow-capped mountains, temperate rainforests, rugged coastlines and vibrant cities combine to create one of America's most diverse destinations. Visitors can explore old-growth forests in Olympic National Park, discover volcanic landscapes around Mount St. Helens, and experience the rolling vineyards and desert scenery of eastern Washington all within a single state. Beyond its natural wonders, Seattle and its surrounding communities offer renowned coffee culture, innovative dining, thriving arts venues and waterfront attractions, while the San Juan Islands are a popular destination for whale watching and outdoor adventure.
