I'm doing a report/tourist guide for the state of Washington. I've already talked about Pike Place Market and the Grand Coulee Dam. Does anyone have any ideas?
Answer
You're off to a good start. Since this is for school, here are a couple places a teacher would like to see in your guide:
Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. A reconstruction of the British fur trading fort.
http://www.nps.gov/archive/fova/home.htm
Lewis and Clark reach the Pacific. Read about Station Camp and Dismal Nitch:
http://www.nps.gov/lewi/planyourvisit/stationcamp.htm
The Long Beach peninsula at the very southwest corner of Washington, where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean.

If you would like to add another historic event/place, search the web for Pig War San Juan Island.
Good luck.

Where would you recommend stopping on my trip?
HelloToYou
My husband and I will be taking Greyhound up from Oregon, to Prince Rupert. From there, we will be traveling by ferry. We plan to camp, couch surf, and participate in other money saving activities, and just generally get a feel for different areas of BC. We also plan on taking the ferry up to Ketchikan. We plan on being gone for about 3 weeks. Do you have any advice for our travels such as where to spend time?
Yes, I am using the actual couch surfing website.
Answer
If you make it over to Vancouver Island check out Tofino, used to be kind of a hippie-ish area, you should be able to find some places to couch surf there as well as try actually surfing (are you using the actual couch surfing site? if so I'm sure there are some around there). Definitely spend some time in the Okanagan (Kelowna is probably the most popular but there is also Penticton, Vernon, Osoyoos...). Whistler is a popular destination, but the surrounding areas are also quite stunning or have some interesting sites (Squamish, Penticton)
I'm not as familiar with northern BC, but since you are in the area you should check out the Queen Charlotte Islands, especially if you are into fishing. From what I hear and see of my relatives' fishing adventures up there it is beautiful and rustic.
