Best Things to Do in Washington State
San Juan Islands
Go on a whale-watching tour and spot other wildlife in Puget Sound.
📍 Google Maps | Visitor Center Bureau Phone: (360) 378-9551 | Website | 👉 Book a Whale Watching Tour from Friday Harbor
The San Juan Islands are one of the dreamiest places in the state. They’re on the north end of Puget Sound and are known as a prime spot for whale watching.
You have a good chance of seeing orcas from land at Lime Kiln State Park on Friday Harbor, San Juan Island. But your chances of seeing whales, seals, bald eagles, porpoises, and other wildlife in the area are much higher if you book a whale-watching tour with an expert guide who knows where to look and the best seasons for sightings.
Olympic National Park
Explore mountains, rainforests, and beaches in this beautiful and massive national park.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (360) 565-3130 | Website | Visitor Center Hours: 9 am – 5 pm daily | Entrance: $30 for 7-day vehicle pass
The Olympic National Park is one of the most popular places to visit in Washington state, and for good reason. The park has nearly a million acres to explore.
You can hike to see beautiful mountain views atop Hurricane Ridge or set up camp in the Hoh Rainforest. Search tide pools at Rialto or Shi Shi Beach, watch the cascading Marymere Falls, and relax in the Sol Duc Hot Springs.
The park isn’t far from Port Townsend and Port Angeles, two vibrant Washington cities that are worth visiting for a warm meal after a hard day of adventuring.
Seattle
Experience the cultural attractions, outdoor activities, stellar restaurants, and coffee shops of the state’s largest city.
📍 Google Maps | Phone (206) 228-7291 | Website | Visitor Center Hours: 9 am – 4:30 pm Mon-Fri, Closed Sat-Sun
You could easily spend your entire visit to Washington staying in Seattle. It’s the largest city in the state and is a great jumping-off spot for day trips to other surrounding towns, cities, and islands.
I recommend that first-time visitors stay in the downtown area or adjacent neighborhoods. Downtown Seattle and the Lower Queen Anne neighborhood are home to popular attractions like Pike Place Market and the Seattle Center.
Foodies should check out Ballard, Capitol Hill, and Georgetown, some of my favorite places to eat and drink in the city. Need some fresh air? Visit Discovery Park, one of the best parks in the city with rugged trails, beautiful views, and beach access.
Love coffee? You’ll find great options pretty much anywhere in the Emerald City. Trust me, you won’t run out of fun things to do in Seattle!
North Cascades National Park
Camp among glaciers, turquoise lakes, and breathtaking mountain vistas in one of the country’s least visited national parks.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (360) 854-7200 | Website | Entrance: free
Camping at the North Cascades National Park is the best way to explore its wild and fascinating landscape. The North Cascades is one of the least visited US national parks, located three hours north of Seattle. This means it’s easy to avoid crowds in this remote wilderness.
Try boat-in camping to traverse the turquoise waters of Lake Diablo or backpack up high passes, down valleys, and along lakes and rivers further in the park in search of glaciers. Drive-up camping is another option that makes experiencing this beautiful park all the more accessible.
Palouse Falls State Park
Witness a 200-foot waterfall and explore Ice Age landscapes at one of Washington’s most remote state parks.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (509) 646-9218 | Website | Entrance: Discover Pass – $10 for one-day, $30 annual
Palouse Falls was named Washington’s state waterfall in 2014. The cascading, 200-foot waterfall is a result of glacial flooding from the last Ice Age. Amazingly, it’s one of the last active waterfalls from that period.
You’ll be stunned that a place like this exists in Washington. The surrounding landscape is the exact opposite of the evergreens and mountainscapes most associate with the Pacific Northwest. Instead, you’ll see gorges, canyons, and coulees that are just as fascinating.
After checking out the falls, drive down to Walla Walla for wine tasting or venture to one of the other small towns in Eastern Washington. Keep in mind that this part of Washington state can get extremely hot — the best time to visit is in early spring to beat the intense heat.
Washington’s Coast
Enjoy a variety of outdoor recreation on a stretch of Washington’s scenic coastline.
Don’t skip a visit to Washington’s coast on your trip. In my opinion, it’s one of the most enchanting parts of the state
Admire sea stacks at Cape Flattery, backpack to Rialto Beach, or surf at La Push. Head further south to go horseback riding on the beach at Ocean Shores, fly a kite on Long Beach, or hike the trails at Cape Disappointment.
Every beach on the Washington coast has its specific charm. Whether you want something lowkey or adventurous, you’re sure to find an option someplace along this colorful, massive coast.
👉 Pro Tip: Be sure to bring along a tide chart to keep track of the safest times to cross the headlands if you’re backpacking along the coast. That way, you won’t get caught in a tricky or dangerous situation.
Mount Rainier National Park
Explore hiking trails, pick huckleberries, and spot marmots, pikas, and black bears in this outdoor paradise.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (360) 569-2211 | Website | Entrance: $30 for 7-day vehicle pass
Hundreds of hiking trails, wildflower meadows, whistling marmots, and curious chipmunks await visitors of Mount Rainier National Park. Mount Rainier is about two hours from Seattle and is a year-round hiker’s paradise (one of the popular areas in the park is even called Paradise).
In addition to hiking, you can go on a wildlife tour, forage for mushrooms and huckleberries, snowshoe and cross-country ski in the wintertime, and ride a gondola above the mountain. If you’re visiting in the summer, be aware that Mount Rainier now has a reservation system for peak periods.

Leavenworth
Travel to Germany without leaving the state in this Bavarian-inspired village with year-round outdoor recreation.
📍 Google Maps | Website
Leavenworth is a delightful town in the Cascade Mountains that caters to adventure-loving travelers with the many outdoor activities in Leavenworth.
Leavenworth is right near Colchuk Lake, the gateway to the Enchantments and other hiking in the beautiful North Cascades. Come here to go mountain biking in the summer or skiing, sledding, and snowmobiling in winter.
If you’d rather spend time in town, choose from plenty of places to stay downtown. There’s lots of shopping, German food, and beer to keep you busy. Go check out a play, attend a festival and, if you visit around Christmas, go for a carriage, horseback, or sleigh ride.
Snoqualmie Falls
📍 Google Maps | Website | Hours: viewing area open from dawn to dusk | Entrance: free
Snoqualmie Falls is one of the most famous waterfalls in Washington state. The waterfall is easy to get to since it’s just an hour and a half from downtown Seattle. Just make sure to go early to beat the crowds if you visit during peak season.
Visit Snoqualmie Falls if you’re a fan of the cult TV show Twin Peaks (which features them in the opening credits) or because it’s a magnificent force of nature.
Here for the Twin Peaks tour? Complete it by visiting the nearby Salish Lodge and Spa and then stop at Twede’s Cafe in North Bend for some cherry pie. While the falls are worth a visit in every season, they’re the most magnificent in spring.
Pike Place Market
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (206) 682 7453 | Website | Open 9 am – 5 pm daily | Entrance: Free | 👉 Book A Market Food Tour on Viator
You’ll probably hear about Pike Place Market pretty early when planning a visit to Washington State. It’s one of the most well-known Seattle attractions and is a must-do for first-time visitors.
Pike Place Market is in a historic district in downtown Seattle where local farmers, makers, artists, and buskers set up shop daily. Go to watch the famous fish throw, buy seasonal produce, and snag some beautiful flowers.
I highly recommend taking a chef-guided market food tour to skip lines, learn some market history, and taste some of the best food. Or simply browse the stalls, grab a refreshing drink from Rachel’s Ginger Beer, and check out the infamous gum wall… if you have the stomach for it.
Seattle Center
Visit several iconic Seattle attractions including the Space Needle, MoPOP, and Chihuly Garden and Glass.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: +1 206 684 7200 | Website | Entrance: Free
You can count on there always being something interesting to do at the Seattle Center. Home to the Space Needle, Museum of Pop Culture, Chihuly Garden and Glass, and numerous art installations, the Seattle Center is the place to go if you want the best in arts and culture.
Come here for festivals and live music performances, to attend the opera, and let kids run wild around a Space-Age-inspired fountain. Wander through an enchanting glass garden, watch a laser show or Kraken game, and ride to the top of the Space Needle for 360-degree views of the surrounding city.
Washington State Capitol Building
Admire stunning architecture and dive into the state’s history at this Olympia attraction.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (360) 902-8880 | Website | Open 7:30 am – 5 pm Mon-Fri, 11 am – 4 pm Sat-Sun | Entrance: Free
Anyone interested in seeing beautiful architecture and learning a bit of history while doing so will want to take a trip to the Capitol Building in Olympia.
Olympia is the state Capitol, located an hour from Seattle on the south end of Puget Sound. Visitors can go on a self-guided tour around the building or attend one of the guided tours throughout the day.
After you’ve learned more about the state’s government and visited the gift shop, head to downtown’s historic district to check out more Olympia attractions. My top recommendations? Grab an espresso from Olympia Coffee Roasters, a bite to eat from Arepa Latin Street Food, and then browse vinyl at Rainy Day Records.

Washington State Ferries
Take in the best Puget Sound views and access charming cities across the water.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (888) 808-7977 | Website | Fee: costs vary
Washington State has the largest ferry system in the United States! All visitors should make time for a ride, especially since some of the best views (and best photos) of the city skyline and mountain silhouettes are from a ferry.
Not to mention, the ferries are the best way to get to some of the best islands and towns in the state. To avoid ferry traffic, I recommend skipping the car line and walking or biking aboard instead. This will save you money on your ticket, too.
The Seattle to Bainbridge Island ferry is one of the best to walk or bike onto since the ferry terminal is very close to the cute town of Winslow, which has dozens of locally-owned shops to explore.
Washington State Farmers Markets
Do as the locals do and shop for fresh produce, flowers, and handmade artisanal goods at the farmers markets.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (206) 706-5198 | Website | Entrance: free
Washington State is known for its bountiful agriculture, so go to a farmers market for fresh and tasty produce perfect for homemade dinners or snacks.
You’ll find great markets all over Washington, but my favorites are in Olympia, Port Townsend, Vancouver, and Bellingham. Go pick up delicious Rainier cherries, sweet Walla Walla Onions, crunchy apples, colorful flowers, wine & cider, and other delights.
Many markets also have vendors that sell ceramics, textiles, and jewelry. Sometimes local musicians come out to perform too. The farmers markets are great places to relax, people watch, munch on street food, and “do as the locals do.”
Flower Fields
Attend the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, visit lavender farms, and admire mountain meadows full of wildflowers.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (360) 428-5959 | Website | Entrance: free to drive by, general admission: $15 adults, $5 kids 6-11, free under 2 years
Visiting Washington in the springtime necessitates a trip to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. Miles of tulips make the perfect backdrop for photos and are a wonderful pop of color against the (typically still gray) spring skies. You’ll find this magical place 60 miles north of Seattle.
Can’t make it to the tulips in time? There are other options for flower seekers. The Pelindaba Lavender Farm on San Juan Island and the lavender fields in Sequim are in full bloom during summer. They’re also the perfect spot to pick up lavender-infused goodies.
Wildflowers bloom in the meadows around Mount Rainier and Mount St Helens in July and August. And you can find sunflower fields at places like Maris Farms from August through September.
Riverfront Park
Wander trails, enjoy picnics, and attend events at this free and popular Spokane attraction.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (509) 625-6600 | Website | Open 6 am – 12 am daily | Entrance: Free
No trip to Spokane is complete without visiting Riverfront Park. This beautifully designed park has become the heart of the city since its creation for the 1974 World Expo.
There are tons of trails for walking and biking, a skate ribbon for ice skating in winter or rollerblading in the summer, and endless green spaces for picnics. Larger events and shows are put on beneath the iconic Pavilion. Visit the park in June for Hoopfest, an exciting 3-on-3 basketball tournament that draws thousands to the city.
Light shows happen year-round on the weekends. Kids will enjoy the merry-go-round and two unique play spaces. You can even ride a gondola over the park’s incredible waterfall.
Scenic Drives
Take in views along Chuckanut Drive, the Palouse Falls Scenic Byway, the Olympic Loop, or the North Cascades Loop.
🌐 Website
Traverse some of Washington’s enchanting landscapes on a scenic drive. Chuckanut Drive is a short but fun option that takes you along Chuckanut Bay where the winding road hugs beautiful sandstone cliffs. The journey ends in Bellingham, which has plenty of places to continue your exploration.
The Olympic Loop is the perfect option for a scenic drive you can turn into a road trip, particularly if you want to stop at Hurricane Ridge, Ruby Beach, and the Hoh Rainforest.
Try the North Cascades Loop for stunning mountain vistas or the Palouse Falls Scenic Byway to see a part of the state that’s often overlooked but is just as beautiful.

Tacoma Museum District
Visit several Tacoma museums that highlight history, art, industry, and more.
📍 Google Maps | Website
There are numerous things to do in Tacoma, but the Museum District is the perfect place to spend a rainy day. The district boasts six museums all within a short walk or drive of each other.
The Washington State History Museum is great for those who want to do a deep dive into the state’s past, and the Museum of Glass has incredible glass sculptures. Families with kids can spend hours at the Children’s Museum, and automobile enthusiasts will get swept away checking out the old-school cars at America’s Car Museum.
The Tacoma Art Museum’s many rotating exhibits focus on local artists. If you want to learn about the state’s maritime culture, The Foss Waterway Maritime Museum is worth a visit.
👉 Pro Tip: On the third Thursday of every month museums have free or discounted admission. Take advantage of this to see multiple museums at once!
Museum of Pop Culture
Learn about your favorite pop culture media at this engaging, contemporary museum in Seattle Center.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (206) 770-2700 | Website | Open 10 am – 5 pm daily, Closed Wednesdays | Entrance: $26.25+
The Museum of Pop Culture, or MoPOP, is just the place for anyone looking for a contemporary take on a museum. Located in the Seattle Center, the MoPOP is just as cool on the inside as its exterior would lead you to believe.
There are always rotating exhibits, and fans of movies, music, fantasy, sci-fi, and horror will get the most out of a visit. Of all the museums in Seattle, this one that museum aficionados don’t want to miss.
Woodinville
Take a day trip from Seattle to enjoy delicious wines at more than 100 tasting rooms.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (425) 287-6820 | Website
With over 100 wine tasting rooms, Woodinville makes for an excellent place to spend a rainy day. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or new to the wine-making scene, you’ll find an option to suit your palate in one of several Woodinville Wine Country districts.
Woodinville is only 30 minutes from Seattle, so if you’re staying there, it’s an easy trip to take. In addition to wine, there are tons of great restaurants and cute shops to check out which makes a trip here on a rainy day a must-do.

Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest
Escape the city to go hiking, river rafting, mountaineering, or take a dip in an alpine lake.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (425) 783-6000 | Website
The Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest is a breathtaking place perfect for people craving an escape from the city and a chance to explore old-growth forests and the Cascade Mountains. You’ll find plenty of incredible hiking trails, both well-trodden and lesser-known, throughout.
River rafting and boating in the rivers and lakes within the forest is also popular. Mount Baker is considered a great mountain to climb for those just starting out mountaineering. It’s also the perfect place to go skiing and snowboarding.
The forest is home to bears, cougars, and other wildlife, and is pretty accessible in all seasons.
Stehekin
Backpack or take a ferry to this super remote community in the North Cascades.
📍 Google Maps | Website
Journey to Stehekin for a unique, seldom-taken adventure. It’s an extremely small community on the tip of Lake Chelan in the heart of the North Cascades. There are no roads that lead to Stehekin. You’ll have to leave your car behind for this trip.
You can reach Stehekin via hiking, on horseback, private boat, or by ferry from Lake Chelan. While there, visitors can rent a bike to explore the trails and go kayaking or fly fishing.
No visit to Stehekin is complete without stopping at The Garden to buy honey, goat cheese, and other farm goods. And if you’re backpacking in, you must get a delicious baked good from the Stehekin Pastry Company to reward yourself for the trek.
Deception Pass State Park
Camp, kayak, and lounge at this state park spanning Fidalgo and Whidbey Island.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (360) 675 3767 | Website
Outdoor enthusiasts will love Deception Pass State Park. It’s on the northern tip of Whidbey Island and the south end of Fidalgo. The defining feature of the park is the Deception Pass Bridge which connects these two islands.
Choose Deception Pass if you can only explore one Washington state park. Walk along the bridge to take in the views of the crystal blue water below. The park has miles of trails for people of all skill levels. Stay overnight at one of the campgrounds, picnic on the beach, or go kayaking through the peaceful waters.
Pacific Crest Trail
Hike (part of) this challenging and iconic route.
🌐 Website
Is completing the Pacific Crest Trail on your bucket list? You can get a small taste of it by hiking a portion of the Washington section. Hike through areas near the Columbia River Gorge, Mount Rainier, and Mount Adams, or go through the North Cascades National Park.
This particular stretch of the Pacific Crest Trail encompasses a lot of high passes and ridges, so it’s perfect for the avid hiker who’s not afraid of a challenge and wants to traverse these landscapes for some seriously rewarding views.
Columbia River Gorge
Admire Columbia River views, hike through wildflower fields, and check out a unique Stonehenge replica in this scenic area.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (541) 308-1700 | Website | 👉 Browse Vancouver Hotels on Booking
Though most associate the Columbia River Gorge with things to do in Oregon, there’s plenty of fun on the Washington State side too. Climb Beacon Rock for rewarding views the whole way up or hike Dog Mountain to see the lovely wildflowers in spring and early summer.
The Washington State side of the Columbia River Gorge is also home to Maryhill, a small community whose main attraction is the Maryhill Museum of Art and the Stonehenge replica. You’ll find Skamania Lodge nearby, too. Stay here to go ziplining or test your balance at an aerial park.
🛏️Where to Stay: To get the full experience on the southwestern side of the state, you should spend a few days down here. I recommend booking a hotel in the historic city of Vancouver, Washington.
Mount St Helens National Volcanic Monument
Go hiking or backpacking in this stunning landscape with an infamous past.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (360) 449-7800 | Website | Entrance: $5 per car per day, $30 annual pass
Some visit Mount St Helens to learn about its deadly geological history — the infamous 1980 eruption that formed its crater-shaped peak. Others simply visit because it’s downright beautiful.
The area around the mountain boasts tons of hiking trails. The Johnston Ridge Observatory, one of several visitor centers in the area, is at the starting point of the popular Harry’s Ridge Trail. This hike’s a crowd pleaser for anyone who wants to see the mountain, meadows, and views of Spirit Lake.
Want to stay longer? Snag a permit to go backcountry backpacking or to climb the mountain.

You’ll love Winthrop if you love tiny Western towns. It’s right near the North Cascades National Park, and Winthrop is great for outdoor enthusiasts and skiers in particular. It boasts the largest number of groomed cross-country ski trails in North America.
Winthrop’s downtown area has Western-style buildings that are beyond charming. Despite its small size, there is a lot to explore. Check out great restaurants, saloons, breweries, and a cozy bookstore. The Shaefer Museum will give you a glimpse into the small town’s past.

📍 Google Maps | Phone: (425) 441-8087 | Website | Guided Tour: $35+tax, Lodging prices vary

Located in a beautiful forest, visitors can live out their childhood dreams of staying in a treehouse for a relaxing and romantic getaway from the city. Even if you don’t have time to stay overnight, you can still take a tour of the treehouse village to glimpse all of the one-of-a-kind structures that seem straight out of a fairytale.
Olympic National Park Hot Springs
Soak in natural pools after hiking through a rainforest.
📍 Google Maps | Website
Head to Sol Duc if you’re hoping for a couple of days of exploration around the Olympic National Park, followed by some time to relax and unwind. Sol Duc is home to a river, a magnificent waterfall, and the rustic Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort. The resort offers commercial hot springs for use by guests and non-guests alike.
Prefer non-commercial hot springs? Go to the equally relaxing Olympic Hot Springs. These are suited for intermediate-level hikers who want to backpack through the rainforest.
The Gorge Amphitheatre
Attend a concert at this epic outdoor venue in Central Washington.
📍 Google Maps | Website
The Gorge Amphitheatre is a huge outdoor concert venue in Central Washington. It’s about 2.5 hours from Seattle, right on the Columbia River. The sound quality in the valley is remarkable and you’ll be as dazzled by the views as you are by the acoustics.
You can camp here during multi-day lineups and festivals. If you come for a multi-day trip, the Gorge is close to the quirky small-town Ellensburg, which is the perfect spot for a day trip.
Ape Cave Lava Tube
Explore the third-longest lava tube in North America, a unique site at Mount St Helens National Volcanic Monument.
📍 Google Maps | Phone: (360) 449-7800 | Website | Entrance: $2 reservation fee
Ape Cave, located in the Mount St Helens National Volcanic Monument, is a must-see if you’re going to spend time around the mountain. Ape Cave is the third-longest lava tube in North America, formed from lava flow 2,000 years ago.
Visitors can explore two different parts of the cave — the upper and lower paths, which offer different levels of difficulty. This is a seriously fun part of the Mount St Helens area to visit and it’s a great way for people to see a part of the state that often doesn’t get explored: the underground.
Tree of Life at Kalaloch
Marvel at this sight along the Washington coast, where a Sitka Spruce thrives even though the ground beneath it has eroded.
📍 Google Maps | Kalaloch Campground Phone: (877) 444-6777 | Website
The Tree of Life at Kalaloch is a natural wonder and a magnificent sight to behold. The Sitka Spruce is balanced between two bluffs with its roots hanging below even though the area between the bluffs has eroded over time.
Despite the lack of soil for the roots to grow into, the tree is still alive and thriving and has been for many years. It’s an odd attraction, but visitors should come see this seemingly magical, logic-defying tree in person, especially if you’re already exploring Washington’s Coast.
🚗 How to Get There: The Tree of Life is on the Washington coast near the Kalaloch Campground. You can rent a car with Discover Cars to get here and then camp or rent a rustic cabin at the Kalaloch Lodges to stay overnight, find the tree, and explore the nearby beaches.
