Welcome to Seattle, called the Emerald City due to its lush evergreen forests. Relax after your arrival or explore on your own terms before joining your Travel Director and fellow travellers this evening for a dinner. - Day 2 – Scenic Seattle Dive Into Culture:
Get oriented in dazzling Seattle at Pike Place Market, where the fish fly low from one fishmonger’s hands to the next.

Then get a bird’s eye view of the city from the iconic, futuristic-looking Seattle Space Needle. - Day 3 – Travel through the Olympic Peninsula:
Leave the city behind as you take the ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island, with views across Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Travel onward to Jardin du Soleil, a family-run lavender farm in the Sequim Valley. Dive into Culture as you meet a local lavender farmer and learn how lavender is grown, harvested and distilled. You’ll even make your own lavender essential oil using ingredients produced right on the farm. The journey continues through the Olympic Peninsula, to your Stays with Stories accommodation, Lake Quinault Lodge. Surrounded by nature and steeped in regional character, this historic property offers a relaxed end to your day and a deep sense of connection to the landscape. - Day 4 – Explore Olympic National Park:

From here, follow the coastline south into Oregon, arriving in the port city of Astoria where the Columbia River flows into the Pacific. Visit the Columbia River Maritime Museum, home to one of the most comprehensive collections of maritime artefacts in the country. Through a self-guided visit, you’ll get a deeper understanding of how this river shaped trade, exploration and daily life in the Pacific Northwest. Afterwards, enjoy some free time to explore Astoria’s historic downtown, known for its waterfront views, Victorian-era homes and small-town charm. - Day 5 – Onwards to Newport:
Discover more of Astoria, the oldest American settlement west of the Rocky Mountains, aboard a restored streetcar for a ride on the Astoria Riverfront Trolley. Continue to the towering Astoria Column monument dedicated by the Great Northern Railway in 1926, and learn about the experiences of the first people to live in this corner of the world.
