We are going to visit Washington & Oregon this summer & I am looking for recommendations to see while we are there. Sometimes when we visit an area & come home, someone may say did you see such & such & we may not have even known about it.So we are trying to build a list of sights to see & things to do before we leave & try to come up with a plan for the time we have.So any help from the folks in those states or folks that have traveled there & were really excited about a place they visited would be greatly appreciated.Thank you so much for your contributions.Big Rig (John)

Deception Pass State Park at the north end of Whidbey Island, Washington.North of Seattle.

Man, it's a big list ... here are some ideas in no particular order. In Seattle area, ride a ferry and drive by Microsoft Campus in Redmond. Nice drives: drive over Chinook Pass, drive North Cascades highway. Out of the way places: visit Omak Stampede, Crater Lake National Park, Mt Saint Helens. Fish for salmon or sturgeon. Drive the Oregon Coast. Visit Olympic National Park rain forest. Experience Washington Travel OregonPrevious visit rv.net Northwest thread.

Go to the Northy-est, Westy-est point at Cape Flattery. Beautiful drive and super impressive.REX

That is a big chunk of territory. What area(s)do you plan to concentrate on? We have traveled extensively in both states and still have not seen everything.

My favorites--Mt. Rainier National ParkMultnoma Falls on the Columbia RiverLeavenworth, WAIf you go to Cape Flattery, these make for nice stops on Hwy 101 loop along the way--Sol Duc Hot SpringsOcean Shores on the Pacific coastHurricane Ridge
