Washington is known as “The Evergreen State” due to its numerous evergreen forests. This Northwest jewel of the Pacific has always held a strong love and appreciation for the great outdoors and therefore, outdoor recreation is abundant. Activities such as camping, hiking, climbing, biking, and fishing head the list. Road trips are also a popular way to view the state, even just for a day trip. Take a day to taste the thriving foodie and craft distillery scene of Spokane, hike the wild wonderous trails of Olympic National Park, or seek out Pike Place Market and the Space Needle in the flourishing city of Seattle. There’s no shortage of activities here, for families or solo travelers alike. From the newly rising art scene to Native American heritage, National Parks, apple orchards, lighthouses, islands, hot springs, and thermal pools, there is something for everyone within this sweet evergreen community.
