The place

Joined 1889 · 42nd state · Not yet a state in the Civil War · Pacific time

Washington is the only state named after a president and is really two states divided by the Cascades: a wet, dense, tech-heavy west and a dry, agricultural east that grows most of the country's apples and hops. Seattle exported grunge, coffee and cloud computing within thirty years. Mount Rainier is an active volcano with a city in its shadow. Go for the Olympic peninsula, which has a rainforest, a mountain range and a wild coastline within an hour of each other.
