These are just five of the many extraordinary landmarks in Washington state.

If you are new to the area, you are dying for some great suggestions for the best places in the Yakima Valley vicinity for hiking.

Good news to all of us Rainier beer fans -- and to all of us who grew up on kegs of Rainier even if you didn't grow up here. Rainier beer is actually going to be made in the state of Washington. It will be sold in pounders -- the iconic 16-ounce Rainier beer bottle. Awesome!
