Things to See and Do in Western Washington
The Cascade Mountains divide Washington into two regions known informally as the Wet Side and the Dry Side. This is your guide to the Wet Side, that amazlingly diverse expanse between the volcanic peaks of the Cascades and the Pacific Ocean. By the standards of western states, Washington is by no means large, and Western Washington is only a small portion of the state. Yet packed into this space are three national parks, a national volcanic monument, surf-washed ocean beaches, quiet inland coves, major league big-city facilities, an array of small towns, and just about anything you could ask for in a vacation.
Northwest Travel Magazine is
pleased to present to you travel related information for Western Washington. There is plenty of fun and adventure to be had and definitely something for everyone, from the shopper, adventure seeker to the outdoor enthusiast.
