I've lived in this area my entire life, and visited all these areas... but this really reminds me of how amazing this area is, and I need to get out and enjoy it more often.

[@roxaskinghearts]

also dont forget their medical system starves their disabled fresh out of surgery if you dont have help dont come here they wont treat you like family

[@marcusburns8604]

Oh my goodness, as a Washingtonian I've seen a lot of videos created by folks who do not adequate job of conveying the beauty of our state. But this video hits it out of the park and it also provides a great itinerary for folks who may be visiting Washington State for the first time. Bonus points for pronouncing Sequim correctly!

[@JeanieMarie]

Thank you so much!

[@sharamafiz3441]

Thank you for sharing your experience! I am planning a trip this June for my bday, and now I have fabulous ideas, thanks to your help! Cheers!

[@Djkalchi]

This is the best and most comprehensive list of things to. Thank you.

[@tranquilo6897]

I went to Washington last year and it was so cool to go from desert to rain forest haha. Thank you for the entertainment! Yall are amazing

[@JeanieMarie]

It's crazy isn't it!? Such a unique state to explore! Thanks for watching!

[@ldrnative8619]

best months of my life. i love pnw

[@ChatB.E.G.]

Beautiful video. Thank you. So excited to move🌹

[@naturalflow157]

Thank you so much for sharing these unique experiences of yours. I had a chance to live in Washington State for a while and I have to admit, it is one of the most remarkable places on earth. It really goes with the vibe of nature, people are more grounded and down to earth. A lot of good coffee that warms you up in the cold months, ohh I miss Washington so much. Thank you for bringing all these great memories back to me. Truly what I needed after weeks of rising stress and anxiety, this brought me back to myself. Thank you so much. Sending you much love and wishing you the best on your next adventure.

[@JeanieMarie]

Ahh! So glad you enjoyed this! I love seeing things that bring back good memories...glad my vlog did that for you. Washington is a special place. Thanks so much for watching!

[@julianafernandes3921]

Very helpful! We’ve added Leavenworth to our road trip! Didn’t know the city! Awesome! 🎉

[@dawnmartin256]

A nice little video, I also have lived in WA all of my life. Seattle for 34-35 years, then Auburn and Kent WA. I've seen most but not all of these places, but the peninsula was a big part of my vacationing childhood. Then we did Eastern WA with Lake Chelan through Leavenworth. This as nice nostalgic trip through my past and i am 63 Years old. I am considering moving to Port Angeles or even Sequim. I am very tired of the near big cities life and am looking to live in a smaller town which Seattle used to be when I was young. It's awful now and I hate driving anywhere near Seattle and I keep getting priced out of the areas I move to. I hope Port Angeles is far enough away, but I doubt it. But at least it's still such a beautiful state.

[@4ngel206]

Cannot WAIT to go back this January w my friends and girlfriend, such a beautiful place.

[@coastskyadventures2752]

What a show to see whales, orcas, sea lions that close. I remember seeing all of them like 12 years ago when I went to San Juan Island. It was awesome. I hope to come back in 2024 trip.

[@JeanieMarie]

It was an unforgettable experience! They are such beautiful animals!

[@leslieochoa88]

Love Washington! I was there for 2 months last year and visited all national parks. My favorite for me was Olympic, north cascades and then Rainer. This video makes me want to go back.

[@JeanieMarie]

It's a gem! So glad to visit and see all the parks! Thanks for watching!

[@maybeerainmaybeesnow]

Thanks!

Thx for sharing. I live in Vancouver BC. I've been to Seattle and Oregon. Planning to visit WA again!

Hello from Texas!!! Thank you for this post as well as the Vancouver post. We used your itinerary as a base for ours and it worked out quite well! Just wanted to let you know how much your posts are appreciated,

[@JeanieMarie]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that!!

Love that you enjoyed our home state! Funny thing is that I think we were in Colorado while you were here. Your videos were very helpful to us on our trip. Many happy travels!

We had such a great time! That would be funny if you where here when I was there. I hope you enjoyed Colorado! Thanks for watching!!

Awesome video! You deserve so many more subscribers.

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!

[@Cindy-pk6gy]

Wow, y'all have great food and travel tastes! Wish we were friends 🤞. My husband and myself are going to Washington state for the first time this year, and definitely doing Olympia and mount rainier. We are millennials and living the normal 9-5, and we are disciplined to go somewhere new & amazing each year using our vacation time. After we we did Acadia last year, I learned it's not fun rushing out of places to get to the next. I'm torn now I'm starting to think we will miss out if we don't go to north cascades after hearing you out!! Our trip will be about 6 days as well

[@Cindy-pk6gy]

Ok after seeing more pictures of your favorite park of them all, we r going to do our best to include north cascades!!

I just came across your channel and this was the first video I watched and I loved it!! Several years ago I spent a week driving the Oregon coast and I fell in love with the west coast. With being unfamiliar with Washington and the towns, did you fly in from somewhere, or did your trip start all by car? Can you add links to the hotels you stayed at along your trip?

This video has been so informative and very useful in planning our family northwest trip this summer. Could you please tell me which hotels you stayed in Port Angeles and Olympia? Thanks.

Trying to plan this. on day 2, I see your last stop was the Hoh rain forest and you stayed in Olympia. Looking at google maps, drive back to the hotel in Olympia is 3 hours. Am i missing sometjing lol

[@lieslvista]

Go back! You missed many things! Definitely so the Hall of Mosses - it’s way more awesome than the drive in. Also, Ruby beach…. There are no words that can describe its beauty… mystic, awesome, breathtaking, maybe three that don’t come close. Just believe me. Go back.

[@robreinhart-td9du]

What an awesome trip! Would you be able to share where it is you stayed? Looking to almost replicate the same trip as what you did.

@@EngageYourFrontalLobe im from yakima and i dont blame people for visiting the west coast, the east side is vast and plane unless you know here to good spots are, very few people visit the east side of rainier compared to the west side in the early seasons (probably because everything is coved in 5ft of snow) and it feels nice to be able to see wildlife that hasn't been scared off yet.

We went labor day weekend at 10am!

[@helenbaltagi7063]

hello again to do more or less your itinerary can we fly to seatlle and then drive between these national parks or we need to take ferries? what do you recommend thank you )

[@JeanieMarie]

We drove! Had a car rental. All the National Parks are inland. You can't reach them on a ferry.

[@seanthorntonmd3908]

@@JeanieMarie The fastest way to get from Seattle to Port Townsend is via ferry (as opposed to going all the way around the sound end of Puget Sound). If you can, include a ferry ride, it's worth it, esp if you arrive in Seattle at sunset. And don't forget Eastern WA! Dessert, wine country, Missoula Flood scab lands, Grand Coulee Dam, etc.

[@robwastman4993]

I’ve lived in Washington for 63 years. You can skip Leavenworth and downtown Seattle. Your time can be better spent doing other things.

[@porfiriato84]

Can you elaborate on why Leavenworth isn't worth visiting?

[@GlaxBeast22]

What time of year was this?

[@JeanieMarie]

Beginning of September

[@saifuddinabdetayyab768]

What are the dates of your visit? Can we visit these national park in December?

[@hollymccormack4081]

The Visitor's Centers are typically closed in December but you can still visit, although you might want to bring snowshoes instead of hiking shoes! Also North Cascades Highway closes in the winter so you can't drive through from Mazama to North Cascades National Park. That said, I'd recommend summer or fall, otherwise you're fighting the weather - rain or snow depending on your elevation - and the shorter days are limiting.

[@user-qr8ki8ue4i]

That's actually not the first Starbucks location. It was in downtown-ish. But, they've fooled all the tourists. :)

[@leestamm3187]

Right. It's more correct to say that it was the first "permanent" Starbucks store, and the oldest.

[@thomascuthbertson3693]

No truck camper on this trip?

No we had this trip booked with flights, car, etc way before we brought our truck camper! But our next two trips will be in the camper! 😊 Can't wait!
