Washington state is far too (3)

South Central Washington
In Yakima’s verdant riverfront and wonderfully fertile valley, you’ll want to make the next turn down every road you pass. Roam on through this wide-open country stopping at dozens of wineries, local museums, and meeting friendly folks. In the valley near Toppenish, you can visit the cultural center of the Confederated Tribes of the Yakama Nation. Soak up the culture of the Columbia River in the Tri Cities. Discover a surprising enclave of art in old Walla Walla and all along the way, you’ll experience the authentic charm of Washington’s wine country.

Spokane & Northeast Washington
Anchored by the bustle and elegance of historic Spokane, you can follow the Columbia River and trails first used by native tribes through national forests, dig for fossils, watch any of 267 species of birds migrate or a grazing buffalo herd. See one of nature’s finest temper tantrums in the backwater of Boundary Dam where rock formations tumble and fold as two continents collided some 500 million years ago. Combined with some of the richest gold and mineral deposits in the world, there is more accessible natural history and wildlife here than you can ever hope to imagine. A true pioneer spirit and pride of place permeates every conversation. Take the time to listen.
