5.) Day Trip in Seattle

Sure the drive can be spendy but for the most part, you can find a lot to do out in the Emerald city, like visiting Pike Place Market, checking out the boardwalk, taking a stroll on the beach, and if you have the money for it, I suggest checking out the MoPop museum. With Years of music history from Jimmy Hendrix to Nirvana and even the Beatles. They also have a pop culture museum filled with a bunch of different scifi movie props.

4.) Camping 

The Pacific North West is a beautiful postcard wherever you look, all around the evergreen state there are hundreds of great places to set up camp and enjoy the weekend away from tech and the busy city. There's no better recent button than a weekend in the wild.
