Urban sophistication meets glorious wilderness in Washington state, the state that gave birth to everything from Microsoft to grunge music and Starbucks. It's mountains contain active volcanoes, thousand year old forests, and the only rain forests in the United States. Puget Sound forms one of the best water playgrounds around. Seattle practically defines urban hipness. Although little visited, the eastern part has its own charms, including vast fruit orchards and the largest dam ever built in the United States.
