Chapter 13 – The Empty Interior


From extreme weather we move on to non-exciting weather, but the non-exciting weather gives way to many breathtaking views and beautiful national parks. The Empty Interior boasts many national parks; some of the more famous includes Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Glacier National Parks. There are three national parks in Washington state, Olympic, Rainier, and Cascades National Parks. Amazingly, they’re within a 150-mile radius from the Seattle metropolitan area, making that parks popular weekend getaways and relaxing summer vacations.[1]
