Outdoor enthusiasts will be very enthusiastic about vacationing in Washington State. Hospitable hiking trails and a kayak-friendly river are temptingly close.

It’s hard to find a greener state than Washington State. And where there’s greenery, great golf courses are not far behind. In addition, fans of professional sports will have a field day with an American League baseball team (Seattle Mariners), an NFL team (Seattle Seahawks) and U.S. Figure Skating at the Spokane Arena.
