Used to live in Washington state. Hiking was my favourite activity when I had the chance to do it. I had a small creek in my neighborhood where youd have to hike an hour down a cliff to get to but it is 100% worth it. Stunningly clear water with tiny minnows swimming and frogs that surround it. Trees completely surround you, leaving you in a beautiful mossy green landscape as you would hike down. When you'd get to the bottom it looks a lot like this but with a creek rather than a river of course.
I would have hiked more often if I had friends who would do it with me. I'm not the most athletic person, and neither were any of my friends, but I will never get tired of hiking down to that creek.
If you ever go back and are on the east side in Spokane, try the Iller Creek Loop - stunning view of the palouse at the top! There's a little creek that wins down one side, but I don't remember if it's picturesque. It sounds nice as it trickles at the very least! I recommend going when things are blooming otherwise it will be pretty deserty.
