Best PNW Day Trips Before You Go on a Seattle Cruise
Are you planning to visit Seattle for a cruise? Good choice. Before you head out, make sure you book some time to get out of the city and explore the actual Pacific Northwest.
Light Rail Transportation
Did you know that you can take the Link light rail to access most of the Seattle area? You don’t need to rent a car when you visit! Simply hop on the light rail and it will take you as far north as Lynnwood, WA. From there it’s a short distance to some of the absolute best hiking in the hills and mountains.

Whale Watching
Glimpse a grey whale or a resident pod of orcas on a tour hosted by Puget Sound Express out of Edmonds, WA. They offer a guarantee that you will see a whale, or you get to ride for free next time.
Ferry Ride
Washington State is home to the third largest ferry system in the world. Ride an iconic ferry to see Puget Sound up close and personal, as well as islands, the Cascade Mountains, and the Olympic Mountains. Hint: reserve your spot in advance so that you’re guaranteed a spot.
Cascade Loop Road Trip
What if you took a 440-mile road trip? And that trip took you from sea level into the Cascades, over to a desert climate, through a National Park and onto the islands of Puget Sound?
Meet the Cascade Loop! You can conquer it in two days, giving you a panoramic view of the many ecosystems and microclimates that make Washington State a fantastic place to visit.
