The Evergreen State

Seattle Skyline - Washington
Photo by Jim Stiles    Washington, sometimes confused with America's eastern capital, rounds out the northeast corner of America's 48 contiguous states with an extremely diverse land. Its dramatic scenery ranges from the beauty of the Pacific shore and its snowcapped peaks of the Cascades to a remarkable desert in the east.
   Famous vacation destinations include Columbia Gorge, Puget Sound, and the Seattle Metro area. But the state's volcanic mountain ranges and great plains of the Palouse illustrate its diversity. Big city amenities vary across the state from Spokane to the Seattle-Tacoma area. The state’s Mt. Olympus, Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainer highlight three of the most popular National Parks in the northwest. Washington visitors may find the best way to discover the beauty of the Evergreen State by traveling its 30 state and national scenic byways.
