Point Defiance Park

This park is absolutely beautiful, located right on the Puget Sound with views of Mt. Rainier and the Olympic mountain range! Drive around the 5 mile loop, walk along the beach, or visit the gardens on site. This is also where our engagement photos were taken!

LeMay - America’s Car Museum

Stadium District

Explore Wright Park, visit Stadium High School (where 10 Things I hate About You was filmed), or go to King's Books for a lovely used bookstore experience

Mount Rainier National Park

Olympic National Park
