The official Washington state tourist website is ExperienceWashington.com. However, there are many other sites which focus on tourism in particular parts of Washington, or on different interests. If you are planning on visiting Seattle, visit Seattle's Convention and Visitors Bureau. If you are planning a visit to Spokane, visit Spokane's Convention and Visitors Bureau. Does a trip to the San Juan Islands strike your fancy? Then take a look at the Guide to the San Juans. If you plan on visiting the Olympic Peninsula, you may find the Olympic Peninsula website helpful.
If you're visiting Washington in the Spring or Summer, you will probably want to visit one of the many festivals. The Tulip Festival in the Skagit Valley occurs in March and April, and the Lavender Festival in Sequim takes place in July. The Apple Blossom Festival occurs in late April/early May, and you won't want to miss OysterFest in October.
