Things To Do
Mt Rainer Hike (Skyline Loop Trial)
One of our fav hikes for Mt Rainer views. Another great one is Naches Peak (https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/naches-peak-loop) which is closer to the mountain.
North Cascades (Lake Diablo)
Or recommend Diablo Lake Trail (https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/diablo-lake) & taking ferry one way ($10 per person and operates twice a day). Also fun to drive one hour north to Winthrop, an adorable western-themed town!
Big Four Ice Caves
Tony's fav hike - fun out & back with a river, forest, and ice caves at the end. It's dangerous to go inside or on top of the ice caves though!!
Snoqualmie Falls
Stunning waterfall 30 min outside of Seattle. There's two lookout points (one at the top and one at the bottom of the waterfall). Option to hike or park and see the lookout points.
Pike Place Market & Seattle Waterfront
So much to do in Seattle - great food, coffee, parks (Kerry Park for a viewpoint, Gas Works Park, and Discovery Park for a seaside nature trail), and obviously the Space Needle.
Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery
Stunning winery with tours and a tasting room. Located in Woodinville with lots of other cute wineries and great food (top fav being Von's 1000 Spirits).
Deception Pass / Anacortes Day Trip
Beautiful coastal views without having to hike (although lots of trails nearby if you want to!). Drive through Deception Pass (lots of stunning lookouts to stop at), get lunch in Anacortes (we love the fish & chips at Rockfish Grill and Cinnamon rolls at Calico), and stop at Washington Park for a scenic loop.
