Attend a Mariner’s ball game, see the Space Needle, stroll through Pioneer Square, explore the heights of Mt. Rainer, bike on the Green River and Interurban Bicycle Trails, walk through acres of tulips at the Skagit Tulip Festival, sample the fresh seafood and Asian cuisine…there really is something for everyone in the Pacific Northwest!

In addition to all the festivals, sightseeing, and recreational adventures the Seattle area offers, the camping in the Seattle Tacoma KOA's urban setting lets you enjoy city conveniences with nearby golf courses, paved bicycle trails, shopping malls, antique shops and outstanding seafood restaurants.

When you return to the campground you will find the following activities, have fun or just relax:

• Horseshoes
• Swimming in the outdoor pool
• Biking and jogging trail
• Mountain bike rentals
• Fishing
• Evening movies (seasonal)

We’ve also compiled a list of some of the exciting things to do in our neck of the woods. From Seattle to Tacoma and in between, you will have fun no matter what your plans are when you stay with us.

MOUNT RAINER NATIONAL PARK
Considered the State's Crowning Glory, Mount Rainier National Park is located about 100 miles southeast of Seattle.

The park is a 235,612-acre forested reserve with the 14,414-foot Mount Rainier as its focal point. Take a hike on the Skyline Trail, a 5-mile loop that begins near the Paradise Inn and wanders through mountain meadows and hillsides filled with wildflowers, marmots and a beautiful, year-round snowfield.

PROFESSIONAL SPORTS
Sports are big here. There’s Safeco Field, home of the Mariners with many star players and across the street sits Qwest Field, home of the Seahawks. Key Arena is home to the Seattle SuperSonics and the WNBA professional women's basketball team, the Seattle Storm. Other sports to watch: University of Washington teams, the Seattle Thunderbirds hockey team at Mercer Downs, and your favorite regional baseball and soccer tournaments.

EMERALD DOWNS

POP A CORK
What do Washington and France have in common? Both are located on the same latitude, which may explain why the Wine Spectator and other connoisseurs consider Washington wines among the best.

The oldest winery in the Pacific Northwest is Chateau Ste. Michelle, founded in 1934. Today it is also the largest winery in the Pacific Northwest and has received more top awards for its outstanding Cabernets, Merlots, Chardonnays and late harvest wines than any other winery in the region.

The Columbia Winery is Washington’s first premium winery. It was founded in 1962 by 10 friends who first experimented by making wines in the garage of Dr. Lloyd Woodburne, Columbia’s first winemaker. Today Columbia Winery has a reputation for producing award-winning Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and distinctive Chardonnay as well as exceptional Riesling.
