I've lived in this area my entire life, and visited all these areas... but this really reminds me of how amazing this area is, and I need to get out and enjoy it more often.

also dont forget their medical system starves their disabled fresh out of surgery if you dont have help dont come here they wont treat you like family
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!

Thank you for sharing your experience! I am planning a trip this June for my bday, and now I have fabulous ideas, thanks to your help! Cheers!
Thank you so much for sharing these unique experiences of yours. I had a chance to live in Washington State for a while and I have to admit, it is one of the most remarkable places on earth. 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. Sending you much love and wishing you the best on your next adventure.

This is the best and most comprehensive list of things to. Thank you.
Wow, y'all have great food and travel tastes! Wish we were friends 🤞. 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

Thx for sharing. I live in Vancouver BC. I've been to Seattle and Oregon. Planning to visit WA again!
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.
Might be be one of the best videos I’ve seen about Washington. Love the editing. We are going the first week of May. What month was this filmed?

Go back! You missed many things! Definitely so the Hall of Mosses - it’s way more awesome than the drive in. Also, Ruby beach…. There are no words that can describe its beauty… mystic, awesome, breathtaking, maybe three that don’t come close. Just believe me. Go back.
Good
We enjoyed your trip to Washington and are planning one very similar. can you share where you stayed and what time of year you were there? Thanks
This video has been so informative and very useful in planning our family northwest trip this summer. Could you please tell me which hotels you stayed in Port Angeles and Olympia? Thanks.
I just came across your channel and this was the first video I watched and I loved it!! Several years ago I spent a week driving the Oregon coast and I fell in love with the west coast. With being unfamiliar with Washington and the towns, did you fly in from somewhere, or did your trip start all by car? Can you add links to the hotels you stayed at along your trip?
❤❤❤
Unfortunately, the visitors center at Hurricane Ridge (Olympic Ntl Park) has burned to the ground. Great video, love WA.
Hey... You're a very sympathic couple!! Where do you yourself come from? I'VE been in Washington twice... This year the 3rd time... We'll perform with our band in Leavenworth! Greets from Austria/Europe
@JeanieMarie Great video, thank you! And if I may ask - in what month did you go? The weather look amazing and we are planning on visiting Washington state in June (from the Netherlands), so I was curious ^-^ TY!

I'm inlove. We going to the Olympic Park end of May. But would love to see as many parks. Besides Port Angeles...where is a good place to stay that's not far from the parks. Also is it safe to hike these trails only 2 people or are there tour guides?
We're heading tjere around the same time this year! I've been trying to figure out how to get down to Diablo lake - i know you said you drove over the dam but can you provide any other tips for getting there? Thanks so much!
What an awesome trip! Would you be able to share where it is you stayed? Looking to almost replicate the same trip as what you did.

@@JeanieMarie The fastest way to get from Seattle to Port Townsend is via ferry (as opposed to going all the way around the sound end of Puget Sound). If you can, include a ferry ride, it's worth it, esp if you arrive in Seattle at sunset. And don't forget Eastern WA! Dessert, wine country, Missoula Flood scab lands, Grand Coulee Dam, etc.

@@EngageYourFrontalLobe im from yakima and i dont blame people for visiting the west coast, the east side is vast and plane unless you know here to good spots are, very few people visit the east side of rainier compared to the west side in the early seasons (probably because everything is coved in 5ft of snow) and it feels nice to be able to see wildlife that hasn't been scared off yet.
How about y'all include how ridiculously expensive this trip was. I live in the area and there ain't no way this trip was done with a small budget. I'm estimating around 2k minimal. Between gas hotel and sight seeing so actually more around 3k for the trip.

What are the dates of your visit? Can we visit these national park in December?
@hollymccormack4081
Жыл бұрын
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.
