    I love being able to drive for 15 minutes and be in the mountain, or walk 10 minutes and be at the beach! I love the endless trails, the Seawall, the Grouse Grind (ok, love/hate). I love that it's beautiful and safe. Fresh fish, weekend farmer's markets, delicious coffee, Savary Island Pie Company (special treat!). I love that I can get in my car and be in the USA in 30 mins (road trip!) , or be at the ferry terminal in West Vancouver in 20 minutes and start Island hopping.... I could go on and on. I lived in Montreal for 4 years for university, and LOVED it there, but I was always happy to come home to my ocean/mountain paradise. Rain and all!

    Undertown Coffee in Port Townsend is awesome! Port Angeles, the whole Olympic Pen. My boyfriend and I did a hike out to Neah Bay and Second and third Beach a few months ago. My favorite place in WA. :)

    Having lived in both Washington (Bremerton/Silverdale area on the peninsula) and now in the Portland area, I absolutely love the NW. I love how green it is and the combination of mountains and trees. I even love the rain. That said, I think my favorite spot in WA is Olympic National Park but I also love Pt. Townsend. Down here, it's probably Silver Falls, the Columbia River Gorge and all the giant cedar trees I have in my own back yard! I wasn't born here, but I'll NEVER leave

    I just moved here (Oak Harbor, WA) from Pittsburgh, PA so I love EVERYTHING from the Mountains, to living right on the water. So far, I love Mt. Baker, and Nooksack Falls. Being from PA you don't see too many mountains unless you travel far out. I love the PNW in the short time I've been here. Absolutely beautiful!

    bought this AWESOME book at Costco a while ago, still see it there- Weird Washington - cool stuff and stops to see...

    one of my fav things in our area (Spokane), is Green Bluff- going to get your pumpkins for Halloween - picking out a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch - my kid spent a long time trekking out there in the rain picking out his perfect pumpkin last year (he was 2) and he loved every minute of it! Then having corn on the cob, fresh from a BBQ grill - and Pumpkin Doughnuts!!! YUM! or fresh apples with a bit of caramel on them - his own little "apple sundae"

    also, love Multnomah falls, and Depoe Bay, and Tillamook Cheese Factory - Seaside, OR, and Astoria - some of our fav places to take a few days off! Newport OR, Lincoln City - I don't care if they're tourist traps, I still love 'em!

    and - of course Leavenworth, WA - how can you NOT love it?!

    and my first kiss with hubby at.......Zip's on Division in Spokane.

    Everytime I drive by Zips now I'll think of you and your hubby! :wink:

    Nothing better than Green Bluff! Take him strawberry picking! It's the best!

    I might have to buy that book!
