Anyone been to Washington State

[Guest Angel 24/7]

Allan's sister is stationed in Wash. We bought tickets to fly out their in July. She has been in Iraq for 6 months of the year they have been there.They are going for nine days. (Allan & Dakota).

Has anyone ever been out there? What are some cool things to do? Dakota wants to go see Mt St Helens & the Pacific Ocean. I don't know when the whales migrate? Oh, They will be south of Seattle.

Any info please let us know! thanks:D

Has anyone ever been out there?

Yes. Years ago. I have family that live on both sides of the mountain pass.

My sister lives in Seattle.

I would suggest the Aquarium, Space Needle, and the Fish Market where they throw the fish. When you fly in you'll see Mt. Reiner. ("The only Beer around here... is Mt. Reiner Beer!")

That is the only real things I can say to try and check out off hand. My trip was spent with family as well so that was the best part for me.

There are only two roads over the mountains, but if you happen to go over to the "other side" of the state... say like Wenatchee... then you'll see a totally different Washington. More open, and clear skies. A lot of the clouds and rain are kept back by the mountains.

On thing you will love, if your like me, is you'll be able to breath!!! LOL!!!

I never new my sinuses where so bad until I went there and could breath better!

Have a wonderful trip. If you see my sister... tell Mike said "hi".

I hope to take my family there in the next two years.

Sorry...never been there.

Just remember WA does not honor TN carry permits.

Yeah, we new they didn't. Allan didn't want to take guns anyway. they have to under the plane & we aren't taking any chances of loosing them.

Creeky Thanks. I will put those on their list. Allan is an outdoors man he would love the open. the fish market Dakota would love he will be 12 in July.

Thanks again

My brother's ex wife is from Washington.The happiest day of his life was when she flew back for good.

Puget Sound area? Been there and the scenery alone will be awesome, if you stay on the west side of the mountains. I would recommend one of the many parks or waterfalls in the area.

Drove up there while on vacation in Portland, OR one year. We just saw Mt. Rainier and Mt. St. Helens, and they were both awesome.

When I visited there several years ago our hosts took us to a place called Deception Pass. I think is was where one of the rivers emptied out into the ocean. the view was incredible.

Mt St Helens was covered in clouds but the visitors center was cool

Never made it to the fish market..went shooting instead :-)

Been there two or three times, spent most of my time at Indian Island (naval magazine).

Best thing about Seattle is there are several roads out of it.

I spent 3 yrs in WA. MT. ST. Helens visited me while I was there.
