Washington State is an aquatic wonderland of coastal waters, tide pools, saltwater inlets, glacier-fed rivers, low country and alpine lakes, reservoirs, protected wetlands and estuaries teeming with fish, birds and all sorts of watchable wildlife. It is also home to thousands of waterfalls, including some as dramatic and spectacular as Palouse Falls and Snoqualmie Falls. Located about 35 miles east of Seattle, Snoqualmie Falls had a big pop culture moment when it was featured in the opening sequence of the hit ‘90s TV show Twin Peaks.
Washington State offers almost unlimited opportunities for boating, kayaking, canoeing, whitewater river rafting, swimming, fishing, hiking, sightseeing, bird watching, duck hunting or just pondering as you watch the sun set over water.
