So, what would an ideal “Washington day” look like, anyway? Probably something like this…

  1. Begin your day with a very Washington breakfast.

  1. Take a drive down one of our scenic highways.

  1. Take a hike.

  1. Have some iconic Washington snacks.

Matt Howry / Flickr Aplets and Cotlets, Almond Roca, Theo’s Chocolate and Tim’s Cascade Potato Chips are great picks.

  1. Visit one of our state’s natural wonders.

  1. Have a conversation about the Seahawks, the Mariners or (RIP) the Sonics.

  1. Enjoy a glass of wine from the Yakima Valley, Walla Walla or Red Mountain.

  1. Have a delicious seafood dinner.

  1. Find a place with a view and watch the sunset.
