Why isn't Washington State on the list?
Boring. And stupid. For obvious reasons.
The first being, when you say "Washington" nobody even thinks of Washington State, they think of D.C.
Things to do in Washington:
1. Go to the Space Needle.
2. Visit Mount St. Helens.
3. Go skiing (seasonal)
4. Visit Pikes Place Market.
5. Go Whale Watching (see wild orcas..very cool).
6. Go to NorthWest Trek.
7. Visit the pacific beaches.
8. Visit the various museums in the state (one of my favs: the sci fi museum - it has Kirks chair!!)
9. See the Experience Music Project. Very nice.
10. Take in a ballgame at Safeco field.
11. Go to a casino (and maybe see fifty!)
12. Vist Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. Or the Seattle Aquarium.
13. Seafair.
14. Puyallup Fair.
15. Go hiking.
16. Go swimming/biking/waterskiing/tubing/etc.
17. See at Movie at Imax.
18. Take a ferry to BC, or Friday Harbor.
19. Go Salmon/Halibut or Trout fishing.
20. Go to a Seahawks or Husky football game (or if on the East Side see the Cougars).
21. Take in a hockey game.
22. Go to a shooting range.
23. Go to a local tavern and taste some local microbrews.
And thats just off the top of my head. There are many, many more.
Now, if all you do is sit and home and watch it rain....yeah, Washington can be boring. But so can any state.
