Seattle, Washington
Activities

Plentiful views of water and snow-capped mountains are a continual reminder of the possibilities for outdoor recreation. The city area has more than 190 miles of waterfront, so there is a good chance that water-sports or fishing are to be found at your doorstep. You can go boating without even leaving the city.

If you are looking for a nice local drive, the western border of Lake Washington runs through some of Seattle's prettiest areas. Only 45 minutes away are the Cascade Mountains, a wonderful alpine environment for hiking, climbing, biking and skiing, as dependent upon the season.
