Washington State

My family embarks on an annual road trip every spring or summer. We usually just go to Disneyland or Universal Studios but as the kids grew older, I tried to introduce a bit of nature (Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Nevada's Valley of Fire). This year, we picked Washington and we went there last week from Thursday to Saturday.

WHOA! This newbie checked in at a hotel that's no more than two miles from a Kymco, Triumph, and another brand's dealerships. Back home, the nearest is about 15 miles away and it's not even marketing motorcyles heavily but ATVs.

WHOA! This newbie has never seen so many bikers on the road and I'm not talking about groups. They were ordinary folks on their way to or from work on their motorcycles or scooters.

We rode the ferry to Bainbridge Island and on our way back, waiting to board was a huge group and I imagine they would fill one level of the ferry.
There's also a big group inside Mt. Rainier park where I saw for the first time road signs that say, "motorcycles, use extreme caution."
And on our way home, there were riders too on rest areas.
I wish I took pictures of them all but I was the designated driver
