The Cascade Mountain Range bisects the state into two distinct environments and climates and is the principle reason why Washington State has such incredibly diverse scenery. Western Washington remains lush and verdant year-round and shares the coastal North American temperate rainforest with northern California. East of the Cascade Range, the climate is arid with dramatic desert landscapes and towering Ponderosa pine forests. But one thing is for sure – wherever you find yourself in the State you are never very far from some of the most beautiful scenery in North America.

Two of the country’s most spectacularly beautiful national parks lie within Washington State - North Cascades National Park and Mount Rainier National Park.

From stunning coastal drives and pretty Pacific Coast villages to the stunning wines country and the delights of Seattle you will fall in love with Washington State.

We would rate the Bellagio as one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Fabulous, glitzy, exciting. We loved having breakfast at the poolside café... one of our best experiences ever. If it hadn't been for you we wouldn't have had the suite or cabana and we loved them. We both agreed that the hotel was the best for us and you had suggested that so well done!
