| Summary |
Featuring six National Park entities in Washington State. All are considered by the National Park Service as National Parks, though only two are so named. Each location is unique, with special qualities that require a personal visit to fully appreciate the beauty, impact and worth of each. A few hours drive from Seattle, WA, Olympic National Park is filled with sea stacked beaches, massive piles of driftwood and tidepools, 3rd rainiest place in the contiguous United States, dripping temperate rain forests, and majestic peaks, waterfalls and hiking trails. San Juan Island National Historical Park is a look back in history at the "Oregon Territory" and a brief dispute that almost, again, brought us to war with Great Britain. Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve preserves a rural lifestyle of farming and fishing. Fort Vancouver National Historic Site is a legacy of exploration and modern warriors. Whitman Mission National Historic Site is a moment in time of "Americas move west" preserved for generations to come. North Cascades National Park Service Complex includes Ross Lake and Lake Chelan National Recreation Areas. A hikers paradise with waterfalls, glaciers, and majestic peaks, most of which is accessed via the only road through the North Cascades. |
