Often referred to as Washington State to differentiate it from the nation’s capital D.C., the remarkable Pacific Northwest territory is home to lots of coastlines, mountains, and vast forests. Besides its plentiful natural riches and untamed wilderness, it has several dynamic cities such as Seattle and Spokane for travelers to check out sleepy seaside towns, historic sights, and glittering glaciers tucked away here and there.
Anointed after George Washington, the first U.S. president, it lies right in the northwestern part of the country. The wetter western side is place for pristine forests and a long Pacific Ocean coastline. The drier eastern half encloses agricultural areas, steppes, and little patches of arid desert.
