        "question": "What are the most popular areas to visit in Washington and how does that affect where I should fly?",
        "answer": "In Washington, Seattle draws visitors for urban culture, the Olympic Peninsula for rainforests and coast, the San Juan Islands for whale watching and Mount Rainier for hiking. Fly into Seattle-Tacoma International for Seattle and Mount Rainier, or consider Paine Field in Everett for a smaller, closer option to Seattle. For the Olympic Peninsula, Seattle-Tacoma is typical, with a drive or ferry. The San Juan Islands are best reached via Seattle-Tacoma or Bellingham International, then a ferry or small plane."

Spokane International is the best choice for eastern Washington and the Inland Northwest. Smaller airports like Bellingham or Tri-Cities serve limited routes and are useful if you are headed directly to those areas, but often require a connection."
