LAKE SAWYER, SEATTLE FLAMING GEYSER STATE PARK
WITH AN EXPANSE OF WATERFRONTon Lake Sawyer and near the western slopes of Washington’s Cascade Mountains, Sunrise-Lake Sawyer is the ideal spot for vacationers looking for beautiful scenery and relaxation. Lake Sawyer is one of the area’s largest natural lakes and boasts some of the best bass fishing in the state.
At Black Diamond, you will want to visit Nolte State Park in the Green River Gorge State Conservation Area and see the 8-inch eternal methane flame in the Flaming Geyser State Park. Plan to take the guided tour of the Black Diamond Historical Museum to see 19th century antique machinery, a Western jail, and mining memorabilia. On the southeastern shores of Puget Sound, the bustling port city of Tacoma’s noted tourist attractions are: Fireman’s Park, with it’s 105-foot-high Indian totem pole (carved from a single cedar tree); the Italian Renaissance-style clock tower atop the Old City Hall; Pantages Theatre, a restored 1918 vaudeville theater and movie house that is now the home of modern-day performing arts presentations.
For breathtaking scenery and hours of sightseeing, be sure to visit Seattle, located between Puget Sound and Lake Washington and surrounded by the Olympic and Cascade Mountains. You’ll want to stop at the 74-acre Seattle Center, built for the 1962 World’s Fair and noted today as the cultural heart of the city. Allow some time for the awesome panoramic view of Mount Rainier and the surrounding area from atop the Space Needle, the city’s most famous landmark.
Other must-see attractions in Seattle are: the Pike Place Market, the oldest continuously operated farmer’s market in the country, selling everything imaginable from fresh local food to gifts; the Seattle Aquarium and Omnidome Film Experience along the Waterfront; and try some fishing off the piers at Waterfront Park; the city’s oldest neighborhood in the 30block restored Pioneer Square Historic District; and the Seattle Art Museum, whose collections are among some of the finest in the nation.

NEARBY SEATTLE, VANCOUVER, BIRCH BAY, CLAMMING
EIGHTY ACRES OF ALL-SEASON FUN makes this resort ideal for your next family vacation. The resort is located just two hours north of Seattle and one hour south of Vancouver, next to the Pacific Ocean. That means plenty of outdoor or cultural activities are available within this great Northwest region.
Situated in a wooded setting, Beachwood overlooks beautiful Birch Bay, a saltwater bay that offers summertime beach fun as well as peaceful winter solitude. The Birch Bay area features multiple golf courses, including worldclass greens. Other nearby attractions include ocean swimming, beach activities, and fishing.
Ever try crabbing or clamming? This is a great area for you and your family to try your luck during low tide. You’ll learn about the best methods using pots and rings, or you can simply walk onto the sand and collect them by hand.
Agates abound for the taking if rock hounding appeals to you, and water slides at Birch Bay will thrill the kids. Horseback riding, miniature golf and go-kart tracks are also available within the area. Those interested in the region’s history might want to attend scheduled archeology lectures sponsored by the Birch Bay State Park. Evidence indicates that the area was once inhabited by Semiahmoo, Lummi and Nooksack tribes since prehistoric times. Later, white settlers logged fir trees with oxen and horse teams—large old-growth stumps remain to tell the story.
Back at the resort, dances, potlucks, breakfasts, and sports round out the activities, and the clubhouse is available for private parties. Or you might just want to soak up the breathtaking view of snow-capped Mt. Baker as well as the plush Northwest woodlands and natural coastal beauty. 5001BAY ROAD BLAINE, WA 98230 (360) 371–5006 PACIFIC TIME

LONG BEACH PENINSULA, COLUMBIA RIVER
COLUMBIA SHORES RESORT is located on the southern tip of beautiful Long Beach Peninsula near the Washington/ Oregon state lines.
The peninsula, known as one of the best in the country for razor clamming and surf fishing, has the longest beach expanse for driving in the world. Twenty-eight miles of hard sand beach stretch along the Pacific Ocean northward from Cape Disappointment to Ledbetter Point. The sandy expanse offers opportunities for salmon, sturgeon, albacore and bottom fishing as well as beach combing, clam digging, and bird watching.
With its location on the banks of the Columbia River, Chinook served as the gateway for Capt. Robert Gray’s 1792 United States claim for all of the land drained by the river.
Allow some time to visit the 600-acre Fort Columbia State Park, established as a military post during the SpanishAmerican War. You can take a self-guided tour past the historic installations and some of the 12 remaining structures in the fort as well as the museum.
Cape Disappointment is considered to be one of the world’s most dangerous river bars. The largest search and rescue facilities in Washington and the only heavy-weather Motor Lifeboat School for the Coast Guard are based at the Cape Disappointment Coast Guard Station and Lighthouse.
Just to the north of the cape is Ilwaco, home of the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center where the explorers’ 8,000-mile expedition is traced and artifacts they collected along their journey are exhibited. The Ilwaco Heritage Museum displays pioneer and Chinook Indian artifacts as well as Western and Native American art, some of which dates back to the frontier days in southwestern Washington. Consider chartering a boat from one of the piers in town. The waters near Ilwaco are regarded as excellent for deep-sea fishing.

BEACHCOMBING, CLAMMING DEEP-SEA FISHING
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A RELAXINGoutdoor-oriented vacation, you’re sure to enjoy your stay at Sunrise Resorts’ Copalis Beach on Washington state’s beautiful Pacific Coast.
With its location on one of the Northwest’s finest razor clam beaches, the resort is centrally located for beachcombing, surf and deep-sea fishing, steelhead fishing in the Copalis River, golfing, horseback riding, hunting, and a wide variety of other recreational activities.
Just to the south, on the sandy peninsula between Grays Harbor and the Pacific Ocean, is the popular resort city of Ocean Shores. Be sure to stop at the Environmental Interpretive Center to see the displays of native fish, birds, flora, fauna, and exhibits concerning the history of the peninsula and Grays Harbor. If an excursion on the water is to your liking, you’ll want to visit the marina, where charter fishing trips and a daily passenger ferry to Westport are available during the summer.
If you choose to ferry to Westport, visit the Westport Maritime Museum where exhibits depict life in a coastal fishing port. South of town, you’ll find a series of fishing villages along an 18-mile unspoiled beach ideal for clam digging, crabbing, kite-flying, whale watching, or waiting for the salmon and tuna fishing boats to come ashore.
Inland from Grays Harbor and around Hoquiam, you’ll find acres of timberland that are the source of the area’s prime export, forest products. Stop in Hoquiam to see the Seventh Street Theatre (circa 1927-28), a pictorial history of the region at the F. Arnold Polson Park and Museum, and the turreted Hoquiam Castle with its antique furnishings.
Just to the east on Highway 101 is Aberdeen, named for its Scottish counterpart. Take a tour of the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport, once a shipyard and lumber mill. Here you’ll see a replica of the ship Capt. Robert Gray sailed when he explored the coastal region and claimed the Oregon territory in 1792. P.O.

History buffs will appreciate the nearby old mining towns of Cle Elum and Roslyn. Cle Elum dates back to 1886 with the discovery of coal and the establishment of a saw mill. It has since become popular for outdoor recreation. Roslyn also owes its existence to coal. It’s now filled with interesting bistros and shops and serves as a launching point for outdoor enthusiasts. The popular television show, “Northern Exposure” was filmed here, and visitors might recognize a few places in town, including the Roslyn’s Cafe camel mural, Ruth-Anne’s store, the KBHR radio station and the weather-beaten vistas of Main Street from the show’s opening credits.
Vino connoisseurs will want to head to the Yakima Valley wine country, just a short drive a way, where they can participate in a wide variety of special events. Wine tasting tours introduce the valley’s finest vintages.

LONG BEACH PENINSULA,known as one of the best beaches for razor clamming and surf fishing, and the longest beach expanse for driving in the world, is the home of Sunrise Resorts’ Pacific Holiday.
The 28-mile-long hard sand shoreline of Long Beach Peninsula begins at Leadbetter Point on the northern tip and extends southward along Highway 103 to Cape Disappointment. The leisurely drive will take you through small towns and past an abundance of beaches for a wide variety of water sports and activities.
Attractions you will want to see at Leadbetter Point include the bird sanctuary, where more than 180 species of migratory birds can be seen among the shifting sand dunes; the half-mile-long boardwalk among the dunes; and the antiques (don’t miss the music boxes) and collectibles at Marsh’s Free Museum.
See the huge piles of oyster shells on the bay front at Nahcotta. They are the remains of the oyster industry that dates back to the mid-1800’s. Native American implements used for harvesting oysters and a tide clock are also on display at the center.
Visit the 2,300-foot beachfront with three observation stops and a 12-foot-wide elevated walkway; see more than 600 kites from around the world at the World Kite Museum & Hall of Fame; take a guided tour of the Pacific Coast Cranberry Research Foundation Museum; stroll through the Clarke Rhododendron Nursery. Located just north of Ilwaco, the 11,200-acre Willapa National Wildlife Refuge is made up of marshland, forest, and pastures forming a natural haven for local wildlife. History buffs will enjoy visits to the Ilwaco Heritage Museum and the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Ilwaco.
Reflect on the past at Cape Disappointment, where over the years more than 230 vessels have shipwrecked. Jetties have been built to control the sandbars, but Cape Disappointment is still considered one of the world’s most dangerous river bars.

MOSES LAKE BIRD WATCHING, FISHING
LOCATED ON THE MOSES LAKE waterfront adjacent to Moses Lake, Sunrise-Pier 4 offers a wide variety of recreational activities, regardless of the season. Lounging, water sports, exploring, bird watching, and four-wheeling on the sand dunes are popular in warm weather, and in winter, ice fishing and cross-country skiing are added to the list.
When the Grand Coulee Dam was built to harness the Columbia River for power, irrigation, and flood control, water began to seep through the lava rock at the reservoirs and surfaced in nearly every low area. With the appearance of so much water in the Moses Lake region, recreational facilities like the Pothold Recreation Area soon came into being.
While you’re in the town of Moses Lake, you can learn more about the local history by visiting the Adam East Museum and Art Center where Native American artifacts and art exhibits are on display.
Travel to the south of the resort to visit the 23,100-acre Columbia National Wildlife Refuge at Othello. A variety of species of waterfowl and wildlife use the refuge as a nesting site. Barn and great-horned owls, ravens, red-tailed hawks, and swallows are most frequently seen nesting in the ledges and cracks of the cliffs. The summer months find bluewinged, cinnamon teal, redhead, ruddy, and mallard ducks making their nests along the water’s edge.
An interesting day trip is the drive north on Highway 17, with a side trip to Ephrata to see the Grant County Historical Museum and Pioneer Village. The museum exhibits, in chronological order, depict life from the homesteading days up to the days of the Columbia Basin project when Grand Coulee Dam was built.
Your next stop should be at Soap Lake. The Native Americans named it Smoliam or “healing waters” because they believed it to have a therapeutic value. 3400SAGE ROAD MOSES LAKE, WA 98837 (509) 765–6319 PACIFIC TIME

PEND OREILLE RIVER, WATER ACTIVITIES, RELAXING
LOCATED ON THE Washington/Idaho border, Old American Kampground offers its guests Pend Oreille River fishing, boating, water skiing and swimming, hiking, backpacking, skiing, and snowmobiling in the nearby mountains.
An ideal side trip to the west and north of the resort is into the 1,100,000-acre Colville National Forest. A good way to start your journey would be to look at the brochures and maps of self-guiding auto and hiking tours of the forest that can be obtained at the Forest Supervisor’s office in Colville. The Columbia River dissects the wilderness. In the southern-most part of the forest stands the imposing Grand Coulee Dam. The world’s most massive concrete structure was built in the Colorado River and is used for power, irrigation, and flood control. The 81,000-acre Roosevelt Lake, in the center of the forest, is a storage reservoir with 131 miles of water for all kinds of water recreation. Fueled by the gold rush in 1855, the area around Colville thrived and became a major silver and iron mining district.
In the northeastern corner of the Colville National Forest is Metaline Falls, founded on the west bank of the Pend Oreille River in 1909 by mining prospectors. East of town is the 41,000-acre Salmo-Priest Wilderness Area, where no motorized vehicles are allowed but foot trails are provided for your hiking pleasure. Gardner Cave, the second largest limestone cavern in Washington, is located north of Metaline Falls in Crawford State Park. Guided tours on weekends and holidays (weather permitting) are offered of the stalagmites and stalactites along the 1,055 ft. of passageway through the cave.
The Cheney Cowles Memorial Museum features historical displays of mining, timber, and farming development in the region as well as a fine collection of Plateau Indian artifacts.

BOATING, WATER SKIING, BASS FISHING
WILLOW BAY RESORT AND MARINA is located on breathtaking Long Lake near Nine Mile Falls, WA. The resort is 20 minutes north of Spokane and within driving distance of golf courses, wineries, scenic hiking trails, and other offerings of the beautiful Inland Empire.
At Willow Bay Resort and Marina, swimming, waterskiing, and trophy fishing are right in your front yard.
Nine Mile Falls is the site of the historic Spokane House trading post, established in 1810. Spokane House was one of the first white settlements in the area. Spokane itself, just a few miles away, offers a broad variety of entertainment choices. It is home to some 195,500 residents, with roughly 418,000 residents in the metropolitan area. Located in the heart of the Inland Northwest, this outdoor playground features downhill and cross-country skiing, white-water rafting, hiking trails, numerous lakes, and the Centennial Trail. It is home to the largest timed road race in the nation, Bloomsday, and the largest three-on-three street basketball tournament, Hoopfest.
The Spokane region also features dozens of golf courses, ranging from phenomenal public links to pristine private courses. And the golfing terrain in the area is wildly diverse: rolling landscapes reminiscent of Scotland, cliff-tops, indigenous pine forests, rivers and lakes.
The region offers some of the best fishing to include pirch, cropy, big and small mouth bass, northern pike, german brown trout and land locked salmon.
The arts and cultural venues abound in this city, with museums, orchestras and performing artists that specialize in everything from comedy to smoky jazz. Looking for fine dining? Spokane offers World-class restaurants, awardwinning wineries and local breweries. Sample fresh organic products prepared with a distinctly Northwest flair, tease your taste buds with fare from local legends, intimate cafes or premier dining destinations. 6607HIGHWAY 291 NINE MILE FALLS, WA 99026 (509) 276-2350 • PACIFIC TIME

BEACH ACTIVITIES, WILDLIFE RESERVE, EXPLORING
OCEAN MIST RESORT IS LOCATED within one of the state’s most natural and recreational areas. Nearby Ocean Shores is proclaimed the razor clam capital of the world. Ocean Shores is a 6,000 acre peninsula at the mouth of Grays Harbor, the only deep water port on the Pacific coast north of San Francisco. Ocean Shores was originally developed in 1960 and is one of Washington's most popular retirement/resort destinations. In Ocean Shores you’ll find 6 miles of interconnecting lakes and canals and 12 miles of scenic bayside properties.
Recreational opportunities include world class bird watching, exploration of our 400-acre Wildlife Reserve and Protection Island, year-round fresh water, salt water and surf fishing, clamming (in season), whale watching, camping at Ocean City State Park, kite flying, sandcastle construction, moped rentals, horseback riding on the beach, beach combing, and every visitor's favorite pastime—simply walking on the beach. With 123 miles of roads, exploring the ocean is quite an adventure whether by car or bicycle. Wildlife is abundant and viewing deer, blue heron, seals, pelican, etc., from just a few feet is commonplace. While here, you’ll want to hop on board the MV Matador (in season), the passenger ferry, which shuttles visitors between the Ocean Shores Marina and Westport just across the bay. The 30-minute ride is pleasurable and is often just the vehicle in which to see whales enter the harbor. You’ll also enjoy our 18-hole PGA rated championship golf course, wonderful little shops, and terrific restaurants throughout town.
In fall, winter, and early spring months you can relax in front of a roaring fire curled up with a good book while winter storms and crashing waves rage outside your window. You’ll also want to take a walk on the beach, all bundled up with the pounding surf at your feet.
While here you mustn’t forget to visit the North Jetty where wildlife is abundant and huge waves crash against the rocks creating enormous volumes of sea spray.

COLUMBIA NAT’L WILDLIFE REFUGE, BIRD WATCHING
LOCATED IN SCENIC EASTERN Washington, O’Sullivan Sportsman’s Resort offers activities for the entire family, regardless of the season. With the 24,000-acre Potholes Reservoir just a block away, you can choose your own island for ice fishing and all kinds of snow sports during the colder months or water sports, bird hunting, and hiking during the summer.
While you’re at the resort, you may want to drive south to Othello to visit the Old Hotel Art Gallery, a converted railroad-era boarding house, where you’ll see the handicrafts and art work of artists from the Northwest.
Follow Highway 26 west out of town to the 23,100-acre Columbia National Wildlife Refuge. Bird-watchers will enjoy getting a glimpse of red-tailed hawks, ravens, swallows, and great-horned and barn owls as they fly in to make their nests in the ledges and cracks of the cliffs in the area. A large variety of ducks can also be seen migrating to the refuge during the summer months.
Continue west on Highway 26 to Vantage, home of two rather unusual tourist attractions worth your time. From the Wanapum Vista lookout on I-90, just three miles east of town, you can see the “Grandfather Cuts Loose the Horses” sculpture overlooking the Columbia River. To the west of the interstate lies the 7,500-acre Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park, the only place where there are petrified ginkgo trees. Some of the fossilized trees that are buried in hardened lava are believed to have been alive more than 15 million years ago. Also of interest are miles of hiking trails, one with petroglyphs along the way.
To the south is the irrigated and fertile Yakima Valley, home of more than 20 wineries. A vintage dinner train will take you on a roundtrip from the town of Yakima to the valley and back. In town, you can see Native American artifacts, agricultural equipment, and horse-drawn vehicles at the Yakima Valley Museum. 6897SR 262 SE OTHELLO, WA 99344 (509) 346–2447 PACIFIC TIME

CASCADE MOUNTAIN RANGE, MT. RAINIER NATIONAL PARK
IN THE HEART OF WASHINGTON’S Cascade Range, lofty peaks provide the backdrops for this premier destination resort on the Cowlitz River. The beauty of the resort and surrounding grandeur combine to invite everyone to explore and enjoy all that nature has to offer.
Between Mount St. Helens Volcanic National Monument to the south, and Mount Rainier National Park to the north, the park is perfectly situated for exploring and immersing yourself in two very different landscapes. The towering peaks and glaciers of the 14,411-foot Mount Rainier defy description, especially when viewed from the breathtaking Sunrise Area. The still towering peak of a diminished Mount St. Helens is eclipsed only by the ravages of the volcanic eruption that devastated this area in 1980. Each mountain tells its own fascinating stories of power, endurance, and life.
As impressive as these scenes are, they represent only a portion of the vistas and opportunities of this area. Over sixty lakes and rivers offer boundless opportunities for swimming, fishing, boating, and other water sports. Throughout the area and within the park you can immerse yourself in the lush, green woods that are the trademark of the northwest.
The woods of the northwest are more than just scenery, though. They were and are a source of timber, essential to the development of early settlements and the mainstay of many modern industries. In nearby Morton, the annual Loggers Jubilee celebrates both traditional and modern logging skills and showcases some of the world’s finest competitors. During the second weekend of August, contestants impress spectators with their strength and agility as they challenge each other in multiple events, including speed climbing, tree topping, and log rolling (known as birling).
Of course, the more common recreational opportunities also abound nearby, including golfing, rafting, hiking, skiing, and hang-gliding. If you’re looking for a resort that appeals to the whole family, this is it.

GIFFORD PINCHOT NAT’L FOREST, ENDLESS OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
SITUATED ON THE COWLITZ RIVERin the beautiful Cascade Mountains of Washington, Maple Grove Resort offers the best of camping accommodations and a variety of activities for your enjoyment.
This mountainous area is in the northern part of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, 1,299,546 acres of mountains, meadows, caves, canyons, streams, and lots of beautiful scenery. Many varieties of animals and birds, as well as salmon and trout, make their home in this forest. On the eastern edge of the forest is Mt. Adams, a glacier-clad, 12,276-foot peak with fields of wild huckleberries surrounding it. Every year in the late summer, thousands of pickers visit the mountain and forest.
Located on the western rim of the forest is Mt. St. Helens, the historic site of one of nature’s greatest catastrophes. Once one of Washington’s snowcapped crown jewels, its eruption in 1980 devastated the surrounding area and made access to it very limited. Today, the crater at Mt. St. Helens can be seen from a tour helicopter or airplane or through telescopes from the deck of a visitor center facing the volcano.
To the north of the forest and the resort is a striking landmark of the Pacific Northwest, extraordinarily beautiful Mt. Rainier. The towering volcano is the largest single-peak glacial system in the contiguous United States. Rising over 14,000 feet and often visible for 100 miles in any direction, the splendor of the eternal snows on its peak and the cap of glacial ice make it an extremely impressive sight.
Nearby Eatonville is the home of the Northwest Trek Wildlife Park, where many species of wild animals can be seen roaming freely in the wilderness.
In Olympia, you’ll want to see Washington’s Capitol Building, the fifth tallest all-masonry domed building in the world. While in the capital city, be sure to visit the State Capitol Museum, Farmer’s Market, Olympia Brewery, and the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. P.O.

OLYMPIC MOUNTAINS, HIKING, FISHING, GOLFING
THE KLALLAM INDIAN WORD, SEQUIM,means “calm waters,” and that is exactly what awaits you on your vacation stay at Diamond Point Resort. Enjoy some relaxation in the beautiful Northwest with its Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound, Canadian San Juan Islands, and an array of outdoor activities nearby.
Besides fishing, golfing, mountain hiking, and visiting the beach while you are in Sequim, you will want to visit the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. Within the refuge is Dungeness Spit, one of the longest natural sand spits in the nation.
Five miles northwest of town is the Olympic Game Farm, home to animals used in television and movie filming. As you drive along two loop roads in the 90-acre preserve you can see bears, bison, deer, elk, sheep, yaks, and zebras roaming about in the large fields.
Those enjoying gaming will want to try their luck at the tables or bingo parlor at the casino five miles east on US 101. From the resort you will have a spectacular view of the San Juan Islands, but it is best to see them up close to appreciate their serenity and incredible scenery. From midMay to mid-October you can take a ferry ride from Port Townsend to the islands. The waters surrounding the 172 islands are an excellent place to see more than 90 orcas (killer whales), countless seals, dolphins, and porpoises in their natural habitat.
To the southwest of Sequim is Olympic National Park, one of the state’s most popular tourist attractions. The nearly one million-acre scenic wilderness contains lush rain forests, glaciers, lakes, and streams. To the west you’ll find fifty-seven miles of unspoiled shoreline along the Pacific Ocean. Just a few miles from the sea, rugged glaciered mountains rise above narrow forested valleys. Some of the more than 600 miles of trails that intersect the park take you by forest floors covered with ferns and crystal clear streams adjacent to giant coniferous trees, some of which are believed to be at least 500 years old.
