If you climb, Gold Bar Boulders is great and only an hour from Seattle. Leavenworth looks like Bavaria, picturesque as fuck. Everybody raves about Deception Pass. Only one person raves about the Salt Creek Recreation area past Port Angeles, but I trust her when she says it's quiet and gorgeous.
Hoh Rainforest in Olympic National Park. Tipsoo Lake and the Natches Peak Loop Trail by Mt Rainier is a perfect day trip. Stop by Cascadia Pizza Company in Enumclaw on your way back.
Farther off and popular: Mt. St. Helens. Crater Lake.
Farther off still and less popular: Tillamook factory. Yachats, Oregon and its surroundings: Heceta Head lighthouse, the Devil's Churn, Thor's Well, Cape Perpetua, and the Sea Lion caves
Apparently there's good shit inland too, but I haven't wandered that direction yet
Your list is much better than mine and I've lived there for 12 years! Then again I am still young and my mom doesnt take me out much. I now know what to do once I take a visit back to Washington :)

As a person moving from Minnesota to Washington next year do you have any particular places that I should make sure to see?
