Seattle and Ocean Shores. Loved the coast, and Seattle was...interesting.

Lived across the Puget sound from Seattle in middle school. Military base, so limited exposure to everything, but can say I don't really remember seeing the sun (probably an exaggeration), but otherwise that part of Washington was quiet. Lots of hills and forests. Beautiful state, Washington is. Did lots of crabbing and claming with my parents. That was fun.

Have some family and friends in Seattle. Its a fun city. Prices are making the homeless problem more of an issue, though.

I had a dear friend live in Bainbridge Island a few years ago, visited Seattle every so often, saw Wagner's Ring Cycle 20 years ago or so, at the Seattle Art Museum and saw the Chihuly Garden and Glass.

Been there many times. All over the state. So many beautiful areas to visit. My youngest son lives in the Seattle area. He has been there since having college internships there. My favorite places are Olympic National Park, North Cascades National Park, the Columbia River Gorge and and Mt. St. Helens. Also lots of cool islands to visit as well as wineries, breweries and restaurants.Good seafood!!!

I like the Vantage Bridge on I-90 over the Columbia River.

Yeah, it is very cool. The view of the bridge from the rest area heading west is awesome.

Washington is the only state with a green flag. Did you know that?
