Pacific Northwest Trip

[Steverino]

Hey Folks,

I am planning a 10 day trip to the Pacific NW with my wife in mid-September to celebrate our anniversary and to visit some extended family in Seattle. So far, our itinerary includes visits to Mt. Rainier, Leavenworth, both the Olympic National Park and Forest, Seattle, and then onwards to Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia (the last two were concessions made to the wife for dragging her around the mountain tops! No...they look like fun too)

We cashed in some airline miles for the airfare and got a great deal on the car rental. For those of you that either live around the area, know the area, or have visited these areas, are there any particular places of interest or "off the beaten path" areas in these locations that you would recommend checking out?

Thanks in advance for your replies. The pictures that I have seen looked absolutely beautiful! I know that I won't want to come back.
