Jersey City to Seattle Roadtrip
Day 7 – Saturday, October 7

The last day we continued through the rest of Montana, Idaho (which in northern part is narrower but no less beautiful) and finally our new home state of Washington. A few hours after crossing the state line we arrived into our new home city of Seattle. In Idaho we also crossed into PST zone and gained the final additional hour. At this point we were already excited about being close to Seattle so we decided to stop only once for a quick stroll and a glance at the Columbia River gorge alongside Rt. 90. As we drove further west we passed through the Cascade Mountains, the northern part of a chain of volcanoes that stretches along the West Coast. During our brief visit in August we had visited the beautiful Mt. Rainier, which is often visible from Seattle, especially on a clear day as the sun sets over the Puget Sound. It’s almost hard to believe that after less than half an hour of driving from such a beautiful natural setting we arrived into the city. But that is one of the major reasons for our move!
