Travel the scenic Puget Sound and visit three iconic communities along its shores. Your journey through these waters will glean insight to the history, and beauty of the region. In Seattle, learn how climate, geography, economic disaster and overpriced onions led to today's metropolis. Explore Pioneer Square, Pike Place Market, and new Outdoor Sculpture Park overlooking the Puget Sound. Then cruise to historic Victoria renowned for its old-world charm and picturesque harbor. Indulge in Afternoon Tea at the elegant Empress Hotel; visit the Royal B.C. Museum; and explore the stunning Butchart Gardens. End your experience in the fabled San Juan Islands, haven to Orca whales, bald eagles, and rugged individualists. Island field trips showcase a National Historic Park, Whale Museum, lighthouse and more. Passed over by earlier booms in the Northwest, the islands are threatened today by the allure of their natural beauty. Leave with an awareness of these unique northwest waterways.



Walking up to 10 city blocks at a time.
