Romantic Places in Washington

Olympic Peninsula

Located west of Seattle, the wild and scenic peninsula contains Olympic National Park, ocean coastline, pristine lakes, snowy peaks, and the only temperate rain forest in the Northern Hemisphere. From Port Angeles you can take a ferry over to Victoria on Canada’s Vancouver Island.

Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area

Less than an hour east of Seattle, this area including 700 lakes and some of Washington’s most scenic waterfalls, including the 270 foot cascading Snoqualmie Falls.

San Juan Islands

The San Juan islands are scattered like emeralds around Seattle’s bay, with unpretentious country inns and often first rate dining. The four major islands—and the only ones accessible by ferry—are Orcas, San Juan, Lopez and Shaw.

Wine Country

Washington’s wine country is located in the same latitude as France’s Bordeaux and Burgundy regions; its appellations include Yakima Valley, Columbia Valley, the Red Mountain wine region and Walla Walla. The Walla Walla Wine Region is located on Washington’s southern border, an arid valley surrounded by the rugged Blue Mountains. Famous for its sweet onions. Washington shares this wine appelation with Oregon.
