Capilano Suspension Bridge is located about two and a half hours north of Seattle, in Vancouver, BC. This little park packs a serious punch. There is so much to see and explore, for the entire family. The $32.95 adult entry fee covers the Suspension Bridge, Treetop Adventure, and the “one of a kind” Cliffwalk. If you are afraid of heights, this is not the place to visit. You might want to consider the gift shop, or cafe instead. Most of the attractions have an amazing view of the Capilano River below, and the deck like trails, make it an easy walk. Get all the information you need at http://www.capbridge.com/hoursrates.php

Hello Christine,

Located about an hour or so north of Bellevue is the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. In this forest lies the Big Four Ice Caves, a pretty awesome sight to see. There is a $5.00 charge for parking and about a 1 mile hike through the beautiful forest on a paved, gravel, and wood deck trail. From a distance the caves look so small, however once you venture toward them-they are HUGE!! It is highly recommended that you do not enter the caves. After checking out the first couple, we did decided to take our chances and go in. BAD IDEA!!! The ground is very unstable and scattered with debris, and there is no way of knowing how stable the actual cave above you really is. As we were leaving the area we came across a memorial for an 11 year old girl that lost her life last year. If we would have seen this prior to wondering into the cave, we definitely would not have gone in. Please check this one out with caution!!!! Just as beautiful from a distance.

Seattle”s local zoo has soooo much to offer. Now you have to remember I’m comparing it to Cleveland’s zoo and it held up very well. The winding trails, all tree covered lead to great exhibits, and themed areas. The cost to get into the zoo is about $17.50 a person. There are many different children’s areas including: a carousel and play ground. The food area has a lot of choices including pizza, coffee, and ice cream. They have a great display of animals including lions, tigers,bears “oh my” Snakes, penguins, giraffes, elephants and many others. The only animals I didn’t see were the seals, zebra, and the camel. A great stop for the entire family!!

West of Seattle on the Olympic Peninsula is the small town of Sequim. (sk-wim) A ferry ride from Edmonds to Kingston, and a drive by Port Gamble will get you to Sequim. Known for its Lavender Festival the third week of July every year, Sequim is a must stop. Cedarbrook Lavender and Herb Farm is the most darling little farm ever. The cafe offers indoor and outdoor seating, while overlooking fields of lavender. Did I mention how amazing it smells? A charming gift shop and a barn filled with second hands, adds just the right touch. They offer over 70 different kinds of Lavender and over 200 different herbs. For more information on the cafe go to http://www.cedarbrookgardencafe.com/. For information on Cedarbrook Farm http://www.cedarbrooklavender.com/index.cfm
