Exploring Washington State

Welcome to Washington State!

I’m Jennie, a fourth generation Seattleite! I’ve explored almost everywhere in the state throughout my life and I’m also been a guide for day trips to Mt Rainier National Park, Olympic National Park and Mt St Helens. I grew up in these places, love to visit them and love to share them with visitors.

Join me in exploring Seattle, the mountains and forests and water around Seattle as well as the dry deserts of Eastern Washington, the Olympic Peninsula, the San Juan Islands, Washington wine country, and many other towns and places to hike, camp and road trip across this amazing state!
