I have been to Seattle several times for meetings or conferences, the cruise we did to Alaska back in 2008 was from Seattle. Washington State is the farthest northwest state in the continental United States.
Back in the summer of 2019 I had a board meeting in Seattle, and then rented a car for a week to drive around the the State of Washington. We went north from Seattle, and toured the Boeing Factory, the last 747 freighters were working their way down the line. We went north from there, with a couple of ferry crossings to the waterway that separates the United States from Canada. We took a whale watching boat tour and had incredible pie on a native American reservation. Over a couple of days we worked out way west to the farthest northwest point in the continental United States. Then turned south along the Pacific Coast. Shortly after crossing into Oregon, we turned Northeast, and visited Mt St. Helens. Drove west from there deeper into the mountains and then back to Seattle to return the rental car, spend a night in a Hilton across the street from the airport and fly home.
It was an amazing trip. I would do it again anytime.
Western Washington is rocky, forested, wet and beautiful. The mountains are amazing, and the plains east of there are fertile. Seattle is home to tech giants, and Boeing.
When you have a chance, go and explore this beautiful corner of the country.
