Washington bed and breakfast stays for personalized accommodation
Washington bed and breakfast accommodation is available wherever there are sights to see and things to do, whether your taste runs to vibrant and intellectual Seattle, the peaceful beauty of the San Juan Islands or the remote majesty of North Cascades National Park. Never confuse Washington with D.C. Washington is often referred to as Washington State or The State of Washington to distinguish it from Washington, D.C., the U.S. capital on the Atlantic coast clear across the country. Washington is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the US and is named after George Washington, who was the first President of the United States. Believe it or not, it is the sole state in the union named after a president and for this reason references to him abound in the names of Washington B&Bs, lodges and inns.
The state includes vast tracts of forested land and timber production is naturally one of the state's economic assets. Many Washington bed and breakfast visitors are there on timber 
business. Washington is popularly known as "The Evergreen State" because of the large fir and pine trees in the state. Washington relies heavily on its forests for their contribution to both the economy and to the region's natural ecosystems. Washington is a leading lumber producer. Its rugged surface is rich in stands of Douglas fir, hemlock, ponderosa and white pine, larch, spruce, and cedar. There are in fact many Washington B&B lodges and inns that feature the names of trees. Washington is also a farming state producing delicious berries, herbs and fruit. Fishing is also a major revenue earner and many Washington bed and breakfast businesses cater to leisure fishermen. Great rivers run through the state, providing natural habitat for one of America's best game fish, the steelhead trout. But Washington is not all about natural beauty. As your Washington bed and breakfast host will attest, Washington manufactures aircraft and missiles, ships and other transportation equipment, metal products, chemicals, and machinery.
Among the major tourist attraction visited by Washington bed and breakfast guests are Mt. Rainier, Olympic, and North Cascades National Parks, particularly Mount St. Helens (a peak in the Cascade Range that erupted in May 1980). Also of interest are Whitman Mission and Fort Vancouver National Historic Sites and and the Pacific Science Center and the Space Needle, in Seattle. Washington has it all, from desert to snowcapped mountains, lush farmland to immense river gorges, rugged ocean shoreline and towering temperate rain forest, with all areas well-served by B&B lodges and inns.
