National parks around Seattle

Exploring three great parks near Seattle, three different ways. I’ll never forget the first time I saw Mt. Rainier more than 25 years ago.

Shortly after moving to Seattle, I was riding the bus on Highway 99. I looked out the window to see the mountain standing impossibly tall, given its location nearly 90 miles from the city. I craned my neck until Mt. Rainier passed out of view.
