There is a lot to do in Washington. We have three National Parks: Mt Rainier, Olympic, and North Cascades. Olympic has many easy trails in the rainforest and on the wilderness coast that are beautiful, accessible in June, and mostly flat. In addition to the natural parks, there is a huge amount of wilderness protected land and national forest that have gorgeous features. There is whale watching as well in the Salish Sea. Washington is home to many exceptional viticultural regions if you're into wine. Seattle itself has a great variety of museums, restaurants, and markets. Eastern Washington has beautiful state parks, dry rivers, scablands, recreational lakes, and more. It really depends on what you like doing.

While in Seattle, check out the big ones like the Zoo, Science Museum, Aquarium, Pop Culture Museum, Space Needle, take the monorail around, check out Pike Place Market for some good seafood or get your wifey some fresh flowers. Take a drive up to Snowqualmie Pass and see the mountains. Take the Amtrak from Seattle to Leavenworth (which is like a bavarian tourist town in the mountains). Take a cruise on Lake Chelan and visit the tiny town of Stehekin (a good substitute for an Alaskan cruise!). Check out Mt. Rainier National Park. Take a drive over the Olympic National Park, or Bellingham and North Cascades National Park. Go check out the San Juan Islands. Drive over to Port Angeles and take the ferry to Victoria BC, Canada.

I'm sure a cruise up to Alaska would be breathtaking but there is totally plenty of gorgeous landscapes around Seattle to see that would save you 15K.

> I fucking hate the little open holes/lines in the freeway from Seattle to Tacoma. Even with new tires my car will go out on its own like it's a little model train. if you know what that is called in the road please tell me

Yes! The things that are like three parallel lines in each tire track. i-90 going east also has these things.

If anyone knows what they are for, I'd love to know. I've tried to google but no luck.
