Well, assuming that I do live in Washington State somewhere... *It helped to think of what he knew about the whole state.* There are a few national parks, like Mount Rainier and Olympic National Park if you like hiking and impressive views. Also for more nature, the Snoqualmie Falls. More hiking, more views but of a different sort.

Obviously we'd need to get to the Space Needle, but there are lots surrounding that, including a garden made of glass, multiple museums and places to shop. Also, one of the longest continuing farmer's markets in the United States for more than 100 years. Obviously no where near the length of Japan but it's impressive for our country. Oh, and I hope you like coffee because Seattle prides itself on it. So I'm sure we could sample some at multiple coffee houses.
