Living in "State Park USA"

Growing up in the Tacoma/Gig Harbor area of Pierce County Washington was like living full time in a State Park! There is always a beach, park or trail to explore and never a lack of things to do! As an adult, I have traveled extensively, but I always return to Western Washington because no where else feels so good! It's true, that sometimes we feel like we get more than our share of wet weather, but the first cloud break treats you to a sky so incredibly blue and trees so green, that you forget almost instantly about the former grey skies! The Evergreen State, with its many parks and recreation areas, is the only place to live!!
