Pike Place Market

A trip to Seattle simply isn’t complete without a stop at the iconic and world-famous Pike Place Market.

Mount Rainier

Also known as “Tahoma” or “Tacoma,” Mount Rainier is the highest mountain in the Northwest’s Cascade Mountain Range and an iconic peak that towers above all others in the state of Washington. Located just 60 miles south of Seattle in Mounta Rainier National Park, it sits at 14,411 feet. The drive there will include beautiful scenery of towering deciduous forest and crystal clear streams.

Leavenworth

Located near local ski slopes and wineries, Leavenworth is a Bavarian-style village in the heart of the Cascades in the middle of the state. Enjoy German beer and food on Front Street, as well as a Nutcracker Museum, not to mention the incredible wildlife like eagles and ospreys at Waterfront Park. Give yourself about 2.5 hours to get from Seattle to Leavenworth.

Yakima Valley AVA

Wine enthusiasts won’t want to miss the chance to get out to the Yakima Valley AVA, an 11,000-acre stretch of vineyards and wineries, with a staggering array of grapes ranging from Chardonnay and Riesling to Pinot gris and Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s about 2.5-hour southeast from Seattle to this Shangri-La of wine.
