We are surrounded by endless amounts of natural beauty and are within 1-2 hours of ocean, mountains (Cascades and Olympics), desert (east of the mountains) and rainforest (Olympic Peninsula).<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the large array of outdoor activities these places offer, there are activities to appeal to almost everyone&#8217;s tastes. Like sports? Museums? Music? Dining? Shopping? Theater? The strange and unusual? They&#8217;re all here!
