After spending two months reporting on Oregon attractions, campgrounds, and hiking trails for the online publication, PlanetWare.com (see: PlanetWare Oregon Reporting), I switched gears and crossed state lines to do the same in Washington.
A few highlights include the state’s three national parks. I also visited Seattle and several surrounding cities. And with former residency in the state, it felt good to be back exploring Washington. My five weeks touring the state flew by and was filled with glaciers, rain forests, and (unfortunately) some severe wildfire smoke in Seattle.
You can find some of my favorite articles from my Washington travels below, with links to my complete Washington article collection at the bottom of the post:
