In the wilderness of Port Orchard is a home known as the Hobbit House. That's right, a home built right into the ground and small enough to house actual hobbits from the Lord of The Rings.

It's true, under the Freemont bridge in Seattle rests a giant Bridge Troll, you can go anytime and see the troll for yourself crushing a 1970's Volkswagon Beatle. It was created due to an art competition in 1989 when locals demanded they had a say in the beautification of their own neighborhoods.

2.) Olympic Hot Springs / in Port Angeles 

Washington is home to a plethora of mountains and snow caps, a lot of the lakes and water in Washington comes from those snow caps on top of the mountains. However they usually filter in the cold water, but in Port Angeles, you can find real Hot Springs. The Olympic Hot springs can be found on the bank of Boulder Creek. These natural springs go up to around 138 degrees. Enough to stay warm but not enough to burn you.
