A list of our favorite places, plus sites that we want to go to but haven’t seen yet, in Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah. Because the western U.S. is so big and so full of awesome sights to see, I’m dividing them up, and I’ll list the Rocky Mountain states and Southwest states in my next post.

There was so much to do and see on Whidbey Island, which is in Puget Sound, northwest of Seattle. We were there for a week, and didn’t run out of things to do. There were several state parks, lots of beaches, and cute little seaside towns.
