"The Evergreen State" epitomizes the Pacific Northeast. Washington (state) leads the country in lumber production. It is also covered in pine forests. All of these trees mean a number of wood-related pests like termites or spiders are very common. You will also find other forest dwellers like the black bear, bobcat, cougar, and coyote.
When you're not walking through Washington's woods, you can enjoy the sites and sounds of Seattle. Seattle is one of the most famous seaport cities in the United States and is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest. There are a number of museums and historic sites to visit in Seattle. Plus, you can always choose to catch a concert by the Seattle Symphony Orchestra or watch a Broadway show at the 5th Avenue Theatre. There is truly something for everyone in Washington. Just don't confuse it with Washington D. C.
