8. Mount Rainier
What might appear to be a beautiful mountain in the state of Washington is actually an active volcano that could potentially destroy the world! While it might be capped with snow and seem dormant, it’s be the location of numerous explosions within the past 500,000 years. It’s last explosion was in 1894, when just minor eruptions were reported. Due to it’s sheer size, it’s easily big enough to produce massive amounts of ash to begin whirling around in our atmosphere. Don’t forget about the massive avalanches that would begin before the initial eruption. Volcanoes that erupt through ice, create what’s known as lahars, or basically melted mudflow of volcanic sludge capable of destroying anything in its path and flooding entire cities. The US Geological Survey shows that Rainier is one of our nation’s most dangerous volcanoes and even the slightest eruption could bring on massive amounts of destruction and panic of the highly populated area of Seattle and Vancouver. They also state that this volcano is certainly capable of exploding with little to no warning. So watch out!

4. Northern State Hospital Sedro Woolley.
There’s a pretty creepy abandoned mental hospital in washington state that’s known for housing some of the most mentally ill people in the country! At one point in time, it housed a large percentage who made this their final home and would be where they would spend their final days. At one point, there were over 2000 confined within its wall but this state hospital has an extremely terrifying history. Many of the patients suffered from experimental treatment such as electroshock therapy. This basically meant they would put people to sleep and then electrocute their brain causing seizures. Another procedure that was done here included lobotomies. This procedure includes an icepick through the side of the eye in order to alter the person’s frontal lobe. This normally resulted in them becoming less mentally disturbed but basically a mindless zombie. The crude procedure continued up until the 1950’s! Anyways, the place is completely crawling with ghosts

3. Vance Creek Bridge
Hidden behind countless evergreen trees is a treasure that measures 347 feet above the ground. This was at one point the tallest 2nd trestle bridge in the US. It was used as an important route to transport lumber from Washington’s lush forests. Eventually, when the government decided to protect the land nearby and not cut down the trees, the bridge was no longer needed. Legends have told tales of not only the bridge being haunted but also the creek down below.It’s said to be haunted by the spirit of a woman that fell of the creepy looking bridge. At night, there’s been sightings of a woman, floating from the bottom to the top. You call tell from this photo that’s there no hand rails, and a fall down would certainly be lethal. At one point it was a hotspot for instagrammers looking to get a cool shot in order to get some likes. Are like really worth your life? They have tried to implement no trespassing signs in order to deter vandalism and loitering. It’s been sealed up and it doesn;t seem like it’s easy to get in there anymore But, there’s good news. If you search on instagram #thatnwbridge there seems to be recent photos of people there and On clear days, you could see Mt. Ranier in the background.

Seattle Underground
Seattle is a picturesque city with towering buildings and with many intense sports fans. But there’s another a whole different level deep below the ground you’re stepping on,... june 6th, 1889, the city of Seattle suffered a great first that would destroy 31 blocks . Many attempts were made to put it out quicker but it just kept burning and burning. The city faced a difficult decision. Either clear the debris or just build over it. They chose to build over it and to use this part as the sewer system. However, in recent years it’s become a popular tourist attraction, the parts that aren't used for sewage at least. It took about 7 to 10 year to rebuild the damage that took place from the fire. You’re still able to walk through some of the old buildings and see the bricks that have become the foundation of the metropolis
