Washington:
The Evergreen State, Washington was named by for President George Washington by an eastern politician. Washington is located in the North-West and is bordered by British Columbia on the north, Idaho (east), Oregon (south), and Pacific Ocean (west). When most people think of Washington State, the first images that come to mind are the Space Needle and Starbucks coffee, but Washington State is actually one of North America`s best destinations for adventure vacations. Seattle tourism has a lot more to offer than just a good latte. Desert, ice-capped mountains, lush farmland, an immense river gorge, rugged ocean shoreline, towering rain forest: The state boasts coastal regions, mountainous areas and desert environs, with each setting offering a unique charm and wide array of activities. Seattle and the Puget Sound are rife with fishing and boating prospects, a trend that continues down the coast to the Olympic Peninsula and on towards Oregon.  Mountains rise immediately to the east of the coast, with landmarks such as Mount St. Helens, Mount Rainier and the Snoqualmie Pass providing hiking, biking and camping. Skiing and other winter sports abound in the Cascade Mountains, beyond which lies the confluence of farms and orchards that make up the central part of Washington State. The Cascade Loop is a well-liked area that traverses inland Washington, taking visitors through small mountain towns such as Leavenworth. Further east, the Columbia River Basin presents many chances to experience Washington, such as the Grand Coulee Dam, which is the largest concrete dam in North America and the third largest producer of electricity worldwide. You could spend several weeks taking in all that scenery on a tour of the western U.S., or you could experience it all on a single drive in Washington. However, this is a land that commands you to stop at each park and scenic lookout. Washington State hosts a wide variety of opportunities for travelers, from recreation to relaxation to accommodation to adventure.
