Washington, more commonly known as Washington DC or the District of Columbia is a city of possibilities. From its broad range of public museums detailing the history of not only America but mankind itself, as well as a veritable treasure-trove of the nation’s most important memorials with places like the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, or the Washington Monument, Washington boasts a broad array of sights and sounds that have millions of people flocking to the city every year.

Washington is at its heart a city of politics. The foundations of the city were laid down as a result of American history, and while it wasn't the first capital of the country, it has remained so for most of the recorded history of the country, and between the White House itself and the various other government branches that make their headquarters here, Washington can be said to be one of the major centers of power on planet Earth.

One of the few states which is generally referred to by its full name in order to distinguish itself from the District of Columbia, more commonly known as Washington D.C., Washington State is the most northwestern state outside of Alaska, and is one of the more appealing states in terms of natural beauty. With rugged mountains, volcanoes, coastal islands and Pacific beaches, not to mention home to some of the most powerful and popular companies in the world like Microsoft and Starbucks, Washington State is a beautiful and tangled mass of adventure that can only be experienced first-hand.

From the Cascade Mountains to the Rocky Mountains to the San Juan Islands, the Puget Sound, and the Olympic Peninsula, Washington State is one of the most majestic states in the nation, set against the backdrop of Canada just to the north. Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens, the rain forests and mountains of the Olympic National Park or the Mount Rainier National Park, Washington is covered with peaks and forests that pervade almost the entire western portions of the state. In direct contrast is the southeastern edge as it drops away from the mountains and forests into Idaho and Montana with wide expanses.

Then there are the cities. Bellvue, Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, Walla Walla…each have their own unique atmosphere. From the vineyards of Walla Walla to the headquarters of Microsoft in Bellevue to the start of the grunge music scene in Seattle and the home of Starbucks, the cities of Washington State are known for their mellow atmosphere, their love of coffee and fine wines, music, and the northwestern Pacific weather that keeps the area wet and lush year-round.

Washington State is best experienced over a variety of different trips, each focused on a specific city or region. There is too much to do in just one visit, because it is impossible to choose between the miles of rugged coastline, the various mountain ranges and forests, or one of the alluring cities.

Washington is built in a unique section of the country along the Potomac River, and it is this waterfront section of the city that most people never think about when they come, when in fact it is the oldest and most unique section of the city that goes back to long before the place was established as a seat of government. Known as the Southwest Waterfront region, it is famous for its seafood and some of the most amazing architecture you can see outside of the national monuments. For a long time the waterfront district was considered an embarrassment as a slum smacked up against the Capitol, but there are literally dozens of restaurants, clubs, bars, condos, houses and more that make up the unique look and feel, and when combined with the marinas and the National Defense University, as well as the Navy Yard, make for a side of Washington that most people never get to see.
