of April. It supposed to be spring now
however in Washington State it feels
like winter still.
We did have a couple nice days so
good for the locals to visit around
the state. As the saying "April showers
bring May flowers".
In recent years May has been great
weather here in the Seattle and
outlying areas. In fact the second
best month to July. Not as many
tourists so good for those who want
to vacation in Washington.
The National Parks now are requiring
to submit online when you plan to visit.
It isn't just the day but the time as
well. The reason is a lot of visitors
and they want to be sure everyone
has a good time. One of Washington's
biggest attractions is Mt. Rainier
National Park.
We can see the mountain almost
everyday unless it is very cloudy
however always nice to visit as well.
When having family visiting Mt. Rainier
is always the place to go.
Seattle has its famous Space Needle
to visit and the places around it. There
is the Pike Place Market as well.
Have the time there is Glacier National
Park going north of Seattle. Going south
and then north is Olympic Mountains as
well as the pacific coast ocean. There
is a couple different ways to get there.
You can go to the state capital Olympia
and take the signs for highway 101.
The other way is to get off in Tacoma
take the Bremerton exit off of Interstate
5. You would cross the Tacoma Narrows
Bridge and could visit me if you like.
Bremerton is about 30 minutes from
the bridge. Bremerton has the navy
shipyard and you can see ships when
coming into Bremerton.
Continuing north toward Port Angeles
which you are on the otherside of
highway 101. You would go west
going by Lake Crescent which is
beautiful then onto Forks. There
are places to see and hike as well.
When I was in boy scouts each August
we would hike 50 miles on one of the
trails. There are other trails much
shorter to hike.
So you see a lot can be seen in Western
Washington however there is Eastern
Washington as well. Let you know more
about it another time. Safe travels!
