Multnomah Falls - Oregon

Multnomah Falls is a waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge, located east of Troutdale, between Corbett and Dodson, along the Historic Columbia River Highway.
In a state where water regularly flows down from upon high, Multnomah Falls — all 620 feet (189 m) of it — stands above the rest as Oregon’s tallest waterfall.
Located just 30 miles (48 km) east of downtown Portland along the Historic Columbia River Highway, the two-drop cascade attracts visitors of all types and ages.
Many visitors make the 1/4-mile (0.4 km) hike up to the Benson Bridge, a photogenic foot-crossing built in 1914 by lumber baron Simon Benson, which spans the falls’ second drop.
Not just a great place to enjoy the view, it’s also perfect for catching your breath before forging ahead to the top.
Whether you climb to the top or peer up from the bottom, dress warmly and wear shoes with traction, because the waterfall’s spray makes the entire area cool and slick. (Don't ask me why I wear Jean and T-Shirt.. Just went there to see the falls, but I couldn't able to control myself to go up)

Seattle

Seattle is a West Coast seaport city and the seat of King County, Washington. With an estimated 684,451 residents as of 2015, Seattle is the largest city in both the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest region of North America. In July 2013, it was the fastest-growing major city in the United States and remained in the Top 5 in May 2015 with an annual growth rate of 2.1%.
The summer and fall are the two best times to visit this city.
Green Lake is one of Seattle's most beloved parks. Its expanse of water and green space in the center of a dense urban neighborhood draws thousands of people daily from all over the city.
One of the best places to see the fall color.
The sunset was amazing
Seattle Space Needle - This was my favorite sight to see when visiting Seattle.
The view from the top was amazing
CenturyLink Field is a multi-purpose stadium in Seattle, Washington, United States. It is the home field for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL) and Seattle Sounders FC of Major League Soccer(MLS). Originally called Seahawks Stadium it became Qwest Field on June 23, 2004, when telecommunications carrier Qwest acquired the naming rights. It received its current name in June 2011 after Qwest's acquisition by CenturyLink.
Ride the Ducks of Seattle - Worth every dollar. I had a great time while visiting the city. I recommend it to anyone. Fun times! Our guide was great and super funny. Convenient location: directly across the space needle.
