Ya' got some beautiful country in the great NW ... if you like nature and parks and stuff. No doubt Seattle has many neat things to see and do, although I've only been through the city and never have had the chance to stop and look around.
Best wishes to you!

Hey, BG...good to see you posting here again!
Here's some ideas (not all NW Washington, but driveable): Take the ferry from Anacortes thru the San Juan Islands, drive around Mt. Rainier, Museum of Glass in Tacoma (they'll show you how to blow...glass that is  ), Pike Street Market then clam chowder at Ivar's down on the waterfront, state fair (late Aug-early Sept) in Puyallup (of course, you have be able to pronounce Puyallup before you can go there  ), Deception Pass State Park and also Coupeville on Whidbey Island, pick a box of apples in Wenatchee, brewery tour (and tasting) in Tumwater, Government Locks and salmon ladder in Ballard, Village Cafe in Marysville (GREAT pies!), check out the commercial reef net fishing on Lummi Island, Chuckanut Drive between Burlington and Bellingham, steelhead fishing on Skagit River, trip over the Canadian border through Blaine, North Cross-State Highway (stop and take the tour of Ross Dam also), scenic LaConner (then go back in April to view the tulip fields), take the ferry to Port Townsend then drive up to Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park.

All great suggestions right there.
Btw, Puyallup = pyoo-al-up
There's also some really good ski areas if you ski/snowboard. There's a ton of great hiking trails. Eastern WA has a lot of great fresh fruit stands and a wonderful concert venue, The Gorge in George. Another great concert venue is the White River Amphitheatre near Auburn (about 30 miles south of Seattle). There's some good dance clubs in Downtown Seattle as well as plenty of clubs with live music... local and touring bands.
That's what comes to mind right away. Welcome to the Pacific Northwest!
