Nice little community with a central business area that has a few restaurants and services. Convenient place to stay when you play the Home Course Golf Course. The Home Course is owned by the Washington State Golf Association and has hosted national golf Championships. It's a really good track for a good price. Dupont is convenient also if you are doing business with the Joint Base or other businesses nearby. Farelli's pizza provides good service and a menu with a variety of non-pizza options. Their Signature Salad is very good.

The City of Leavenworth is a sweet little Bavarian town with a lot of cute shops and restaurants. Also a ski hill is nearby along with beautiful Leavenworth National Park. Also nearby are a tremendous amount of fruit orchards and wineries with tasting rooms in Wenatchee, Peshastin, and Cashmere. I grew up in Washington State and went to college an hour south of this area, but hadn't been to the area for quite some time and was blown away by how gorgeous everything is. It's absolutely beautiful with quite a bit to see and do.

A cozy, college town feel in the southern Palouse country of Washington State. Close to the wilderness of the Blue Mountains and not far from the rugged terrain of the Snake River canyon area just before joining the Columbia, this historical, small city shows it honors its strong ties to early settlers to Washington. Walla Walla offers a great combination of rural, ranch and farm with recent refinements representative of a quickly maturing regional wine industry that is becoming very attractive to "city folk" who will find the drive from Portland, Seattle or Spokane quite rewarding.

The Palouse is a great view. Plus the Washington State University is there and there are water falls and the Columbia and Snake river are not far.

Washington State University is a beautifully laid out university situated on hillsides giving the walker a surprise over every hill and cluster of well managed trees and shrubs.

Seattle is a beautiful city, especially at night to see the city scape. Highly recommend a park called Kerry Park, wow thats an amazing place to see the city at night and during the day. The only downfall to Seattle is to not go during the "rainy months". You will not be able to see the beauty of the Olympic mountains and Mt Ranier. Its still a great place to go for indoor during rainy season. Pikes Market place is awesome, make sure to visit the famous " bubble gum wall". Also there is a great new "flying experience" like an Imax theater, called Wings Over Washington. That was worth the trip, it took you on a tour of Washington State up close and personal. This ride is at the waterfront next to the Giant Wheel. You definitely felt like you were flying. This was my 4th trip out, however my daughter has never been and she was very impressesd with the city. Chuhily glass garden, science center are great attractions.

Seattle is a beautiful city with lots to do and see. The traffic is horrible most of the time! That’s what you get with too many people and nowhere for freeway expansion. Pick your time of day to travel and things will go a lot smoother! Pike Place market, the Space needle, Seahawks stadium,. Washington State is home to great food, wine, micro brews and Starbucks cooffee!

Pullman is a good place to go if you have a reason to go Washington State University Veterinarian Clinics. Dinner at The Birch & Barley was excellent. Best crab cakes and mussels! Cocktails were good also. There is a great walking/bicycle trail that goes several miles to Moscow Idaho.

Although it was just an overnight stop on the last night of a 4 week road trip before our flight home to Florida, we really enjoyed our visit. We still talk about it because where would you find the local government and private shop owners cooperate, commit and accomplish a task to create a Swiss/Austrian village in the middle of Washington State? To completely reface their town, plant gardens, hang flowers, put in horse drawn wagons is incredible. We live in a small town in north central Florida. I DO NOT believe you could get any one of those factors to occur between 2 shop owners to create a theme here to promote tourism and sales. We were very impressed with Leavenworth.

Public transport getting better in Seattle. Loved brunch at Sorrento Hotel except for screaming children at nearby table. Seattle Center has seen better days, don’t bother. Olympic Sculpture Park great. Northlake Tavern still wonderful. Washington State Ferry system terrific. Frye Art Museum terrific. U of W campus as beautiful as ever. Pike Place Market still great, if incredible overcrowded when cruise ships in port. Best restaurant: Maximilian’s. Overall, the city has become far too noisy for me. It will be a long time before I spend more than a few hours at a time in the city.
