Washington State Car Rental Rates, (WA)
In Washington State - adventure abounds on both land and sea, be it birding or whale watching, kite flying or winter storm watching, horseback riding or clam digging. Abundant oysters and fish are the freshest anywhere, whether you catch them yourself or just order them in a restaurant, and remember to sample recipes that include the world famous cranberries grown in local bogs along the cranberry coast. Here, more than anywhere else in the world, the forefronts of technology and urban culture stand arm in arm with dramatic coastline and high alpine terrain.
Seattle and Tacoma are the largest cities. Along with their surrounding communities, they dominate the western valley between the magnificent Mt. Rainier and Puget Sound and Pacific Ocean. Western Washington residents joke about the seemingly constant rain, yet they do not let the dampness prevent them from outdoor activity.

The climate and style are decidedly comfortable. Seattle actually gets less rain per year than New York, Chicago, Miami or Atlanta. Winters are mild and summers are perfection, with persistent blue skies and temperatures that make air conditioning unnecessary. Snow is rare downtown, but a number of impressive ski areas, some less than an hour away, receive more of the white stuff than any region on Earth. The mild climate also makes activities like golfing, fishing, whale watching and hiking possible year round.
