Pacific Northwest and Western Canada Road Trip: Seattle and Spokane (Days 3-8)

This post will be far more spare than five days spread across these two cities suggests because the bulk of our time in these spots was to visit with family - first to attend a wedding in Seattle and then to visit other relatives at their home in Spokane.

That doesn’t mean that we didn’t see anything at all, though!

Pacific Northwest & Western Canada Road Trip: 11 Days - British Columbia, Washington State, and Alberta

When I dream of hitting the road for an extended road trip to just go and explore without any time constraints, I mostly picture spots out west. It makes sense. There is ample open space, more solitude, fewer cities. I often picture spots from this particular trip - most particularly Banff, in Canada’s Alberta province, nestled in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
