Ho Rain Forest
Lake Chelan
Ferry to any of the islands

It is a big state, you might need to specify where you’ll be to get more focused responses.

Boeing museum, if you're into aviation. I regret missing that on our last trip to WA.

I seen that rain forest, it's a maybe for sure. I think it was pretty close to the ridge i want to see (other side of the mountain).


I'll be around Shelton for about a week for Olympus Rally, https://www.olympusrally.com/


I'm fine with driving a few hours to see something cool.

I once found a BMW hot tub while having a brew out towards Leavenworth…

This doesn't look healthy. Is that a vent from some sort of heater or fireplace?

Sheesh reaching back in the memory banks. It was a cabin we rented probably…early 2018 or 2019? This is facing towards the backyard which it wasn’t until the day we were leaving we found out it was facing an absolute massive, beautiful mountain. Missed out on a killer view for the week with the snow storm. So the perpendicular wall was all glass with, what I believe to be, a gas fireplace maybe right about there?

Just looks like the vent wasn't extended out far enough and was scorching the house. Or maybe it's just soot.

I'm gonna assume you mean the one in Everett, where you get a tour of the plant?

Or do you mean the Museum of Flight? I recommend the latter. Both if you have the time, and dress warmly

And while you're at it you have to take a ferry ride across the sound, hope you get a nice day for it (not likely in the immediate future)
