PACIFIC OCEAN AND ROCKY MOUNTAINS – Author’s Travel from Seattle to Akima Valley

In Washington State the color green dominates in Seattle, blue reigns in the waters of Puget Sound, while the White Mountains Olympic Park is full color table of nature. When you get off at Seattle Airport, you find yourself coming to a remote area, in the realm of forests and volcanoes, one of the most fascinating areas in North America. This is the land of brown bears, but if you want to see bigger animals, you need to get to the strait of Juan de Fuca, where you can take part in sea excursions, https://www.viator.com/Victoria-attractions/Strait-of-Juan-de-Fuca/d617-a16980 with possibility of seeing orcs, sea lions and humpbacks.

With its many wonderful attractions, Seattle has become a primary destination for arts, entertainment and leisure activities (such as Experience Music Project, Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum and Space Needle), not to mention that this city also hosts Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Symphony and Pike Place Market.
