I’ve been in Whatcom county off and on since 2010 but grew up in yakima wa. In no order my memories…

If you haven’t been to the gorge you need to make a trip.

Long Beach WA and all the tourist summer activities.

Hoh Rainforest.

Soap Lake. It’s weird, an experience for sure.

Wine country - yakima valley, tri cities, walla walla. Great tours, hundreds of places.

Mount St. Helens visitor center.

Orcas Island, or any/all of the San Juan Islands.
