MATTHEW LOMBARDI
Lake Crescent, Olympic National Park
Indian carving, Seattle

Tucked away in the upper left corner of the map, Washington exists on the fringes of the United States. That remoteness is a key to the unique character of the placeyou sense it in the landscape, the climate, and the people.
The fascination starts with the terrain. Consider the view from the observation deck of the Space NeedleSeattles signature landmark, its sci-fi answer to the Eiffel Tower. Looking west you see Puget Sound, plied by massive cargo ships and ferries, and beyond it the peaks of the Olympic Mountains, glistening like a mirage on the horizon. To the north, skirting the Sound, are hilly residential neighborhoods and little Lake Union, bustling with pleasure boats and seaplanes. To the east you make out larger Lake Washington, a cluster of satellite towns on its far shore, and, on a clear day, a glimpse of the Cascade mountain range. Pivot south to take in downtowns office towers, which seem diminutive against the backdrop of mighty, ominous Mount Rainier, arguably the most impressive peak in North America.

What you see in that 360-degree panorama is the essence of Washington, and it can be summed up in two words: mountains and water. The state has other worthy allurescharming towns, exceptional food and wine, some world-class cultural institutionsbut you havent made the most of your visit unless youve been up on a mountainside (whether by car, bike, or foot) and out on the water (whether by ferry, kayak, or whale-watching cruise).
Ilwaco waterfront
Of course, the water is bound to find you whether you like it or not. Washington is notoriously damp, and in the western part of the state that reputation is well earned. The Olympic Peninsula is truly the rainiest place in the United States, and for three seasons out of four the Puget Sound area is frequently drizzly and overcast. (In contrast, large swaths of less-traveled eastern Washington are desert dry.)
There are two ways to contend with the rain. You can embrace it like a localbring your waterproof shoes and hat and go about your business. It often sprinkles but rarely pours; and after all, its the rain that makes the Olympic Peninsula a mossy, otherworldly wonder, with some of the tallest and oldest trees on the planet. Or you can come in summer, when the clouds disappear, the temperatures remain mild, and the place feels a lot like Eden.

Washingtons single major metropolis has a uniquely Pacific Northwest take on city life. In the thriving urban core, historic Pioneer Square and Pike Place Market overlook the waters of Puget Sound, and the Space Needle offers panoramas of the city. Surrounding the city center is a cluster of laid-back residential neighborhoods that are studded with cultural attractions and an exceptional collection of urban parks. The city also boasts some of the countrys best restaurants, from hip new ventures helmed by celebrity chefs to old-school seafood joints.
Space Needle observation deck
Wet, lush, and wild, the Olympic Peninsula contains rain forests that are home to some of the largest trees on Earth; a rugged, misty coastline; and, at its heart, a mountain range accessible only on foot. Most of that territory is preserved as giant Olympic National Park, circled by U.S. 101. Naturally, youll find excellent hiking here. To the south the coast flattens out into long, sandy beaches dotted by fishing villages and family-focused resort communities. The water is too cold for all but the most intrepid swimmers; visitors content themselves with beachcombing, kite flying, and digging for clams.
The San Juan Islands archipelago is an idyllic summer getaway that seems to live in another time, where generations of vacationers have gone to unplug and relax. Each of the major islands has its own character. You can go boating in classic yacht-club style, kayak out of a hippie commune, climb a mountain, and bike through miles of rolling pasture. The most famous residents are the orca pods that inhabit the surrounding waters. Whidbey Island provides a similar experience closer to Seattle. In the North Puget Sound area, Skagit Valley is studded with tulips, and the outdoorsy city of Bellingham is the gateway to the North Cascades.
Haro Strait, west of San Juan Island, is populated by orca pods.
