    Oh my goodness, as a Washingtonian I've seen a lot of videos created by folks who do not adequate job of conveying the beauty of our state. But this video hits it out of the park and it also provides a great itinerary for folks who may be visiting Washington State for the first time. Bonus points for pronouncing Sequim correctly!

It really goes with the vibe of nature, people are more grounded and down to earth. A lot of good coffee that warms you up in the cold months, ohh I miss Washington so much. Thank you for bringing all these great memories back to me. Truly what I needed after weeks of rising stress and anxiety, this brought me back to myself. Thank you so much.

My husband and myself are going to Washington state for the first time this year, and definitely doing Olympia and mount rainier. We are millennials and living the normal 9-5, and we are disciplined to go somewhere new & amazing each year using our vacation time. After we we did Acadia last year, I learned it's not fun rushing out of places to get to the next. I'm torn now I'm starting to think we will miss out if we don't go to north cascades after hearing you out!! Our trip will be about 6 days as well

    A nice little video, I also have lived in WA all of my life. Seattle for 34-35 years, then Auburn and Kent WA. I've seen most but not all of these places, but the peninsula was a big part of my vacationing childhood. Then we did Eastern WA with Lake Chelan through Leavenworth. This as nice nostalgic trip through my past and i am 63 Years old. I am considering moving to Port Angeles or even Sequim. I am very tired of the near big cities life and am looking to live in a smaller town which Seattle used to be when I was young. It's awful now and I hate driving anywhere near Seattle and I keep getting priced out of the areas I move to. I hope Port Angeles is far enough away, but I doubt it. But at least it's still such a beautiful state.

    The Visitor's Centers are typically closed in December but you can still visit, although you might want to bring snowshoes instead of hiking shoes! Also North Cascades Highway closes in the winter so you can't drive through from Mazama to North Cascades National Park. That said, I'd recommend summer or fall, otherwise you're fighting the weather - rain or snow depending on your elevation - and the shorter days are limiting.
