Here's the full loop from the reel — Seattle out to the Olympic Peninsula and back. Tap any stop below for what's verified and its Google Maps pin.

The Space Needle stands 605 feet tall and was built as the centerpiece of the 1962 World's Fair, themed 'The Age of Space.' It opened on April 21, 1962, and its saucer-shaped top house offers Seattle's only 360-degree indoor and outdoor panoramic views.

Founded in 1907, Pike Place Market is one of the oldest continuously operating public markets in the country and spans nine historic acres in the center of downtown Seattle. Seattle voters created the Pike Place Market Historic District in 1971, and the city chartered the Market's nonprofit PDA in 1973 to manage daily operations.

Deception Pass State Park spans two islands connected by a series of iconic bridges, known for panoramic views and dramatic sunsets. Its interpretive center began as a 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps bathhouse, and the park's newest property, the Kukutali Preserve on Kiket Island, is co-owned and co-managed with the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community.

Ocean Shores was incorporated on November 3, 1970, and is surrounded by miles of sandy beaches on the Pacific Ocean and Grays Harbor. The town also has 23 miles of interconnected canals and lakes.

The Quinault Rain Forest Nature Trail is a heavily used half-mile interpretive path through temperate rainforest, following Willaby Creek past stands of ancient old-growth trees. The compacted-gravel trail is wheelchair-accessible for its first 850 feet.

Ruby Beach's dramatic sea stacks and tide pools make it a favorite along the Olympic Coast, and it's the northernmost beach access point in the Kalaloch Area. It's also the only beach access on this stretch of coast wide enough for a wheelchair to reach the beach.

Lake Crescent is a deep, glacially carved lake known for its pristine, clear water — a massive landslide isolated it from Lake Sutherland roughly 7,000 years ago. That isolation produced two trout populations found nowhere else: the Crescenti and Beardslee trout.

Hurricane Ridge sits 17 miles south of Port Angeles and offers fantastic views year-round in clear weather. Trails range from ridgetop traverses to steep descents into subalpine valleys, with wildflowers and blacktail deer common in spring.
