Better than WWOOFing. At least, there are a lot more options available other than just farm work. When you do hit up Seattle/Washington you shouldn't avoid eastern Wa entirely. It may be a lot of desert, but there are some truly stunning geophysical landmarks. Ihighly suggest checking out Dry Falls. You acn't appreciate it until you're there...
In central Washington, on the opposite side of the Upper Grand Coulee from the Columbia River, and at the head of the Lower Grand Coulee, resides a three and a half mile crescent-shaped precipice known as Dry Falls. Ten times the size of Niagara, Dry Falls is thought to be the greatest known waterfall that ever existed. Geologists speculate that during the last ice age catastorphic flooding channeled watre at 65 miles per hour through the Upper Grand Coulee and over this 400-foot (120 m) rock face. At this time, it is estimated that the flow of the falls was ten times the current flow of all the rivers in the world combined.
When you ARE in western Washington, make sure to travel up and down the Puget Sonud. Do some Ferry hopping around the San uJan Islnads (I know at least one place through help exchange on Lopez Ilsand that you could stay) to really take in the beauty of the region. Someone mentioned the North Cascade park, which is also another great eaxmple of the area.
