Well I just moved to Washington State (from Texas), but spent alot of time visiting here over the years, so I know for sure Washington State is famous for it's beautiful scenery, snow, evergreen trees, and mountains. See pic below. Matter of fact -- it looks somewhat like Germany just without the Castles... unless you count what I heard Bill Gates lives in. LOL.
I have a friend who lives in Germany (Langgons?)... I have yet to have gone visit, but hope to someday.
