Recreation Resources and Tourism in Washington State
Washington State is a splendid place for recreation but no place in the Nation rivals the Pacific Northwest in terms of National forests and parks. These are great places for recreational activities and the Pacific Northwest has a particularly high volume of these areas including the Olympic National Park. It is often referred to as “three parks in one” and offers water and winter sports. The divided areas include the glaciered mountains and high country of the interior, the rain forest, and the wilderness coastline. Even though the area west of the Cascades is extremely moist the coastal region of the state sports many beautiful beaches that attract many beach-goers. The official site of Washington State tourism has information on things to do and see through a very thorough listing of available activities including dog sledding, kayaking, paragliding, and llama trekking and there are numerous outdoor activities to be done even in the city of Seattle.
