The State of Washington is an astonishing place. Consider this: it's the home to the world's wealthiest man (Bill Gates), largest building (Boeing), biggest coffee chain (Starbucks), first revolving restaurant (Seattle), the oldest operating gas station in the United States (Zillah), and the birthplace of both Jimi Hendrix (Seattle) and Bing Crosby (Tacoma). Not too shabby for the third smallest state west of the Mississippi.
