Washington has been dubbed the Evergreen State for a reason. Visitors will experience the wonder of its national, state, and local parks in vibrant colors and diverse landscapes year-round. From snow-capped mountains to Puget Sound islands, there are abundant natural parks to visit across the state, including great day trips near Seattle. Park activities in Washington are as diverse as the parks themselves. If your schedule only allows for one park visit in Washington, make it Mount Rainier National Park.
