Things to Do in Washington: Pacific Northwest Roadside Oddities

Washington state flag

Washington delivers Pacific Northwest weirdness—giant clams, trolls under bridges, and a coffee pot bar. Some of these we’ve visited, others are still on our list. When we’ve been somewhere, the link takes you to our photo page with details and snark. Otherwise, you’ll head to their official site (assuming one exists—sometimes that’s half the adventure).
