Washington: The Evergreen State. Contrasting Landscapes. Outdoor Paradise.

The Pacific Northwest is a spectacular place, characterized by stunning coastlines, majestic mountains, and lush forests—all of which can be found in Washington. Some of the best places to appreciate Washington’s impressive scenery include the North Cascades and the Olympic Peninsula. The North Cascades Scenic Byway is a great way to see the mountainous areas of the state. To see the coastal region of Washington, the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway can’t be missed. Along this drive, not only can you see the ocean beaches, but also rain forests and part of Olympic National Park. Another short but scenic drive that offers some interesting culture and history is the Cape Flattery Tribal Scenic Byway.
