Things to see near your Seattle pickup
Pike Place Market and the Space Needle sit about a mile apart in downtown Seattle, an easy walk or short ride between the two before you head out. The waterfront and Pioneer Square are both worth an hour if you have time to spare before collection. Chihuly Garden and Glass, right beside the Space Needle, is worth pairing with a Pike Place visit — glass artist Dale Chihuly’s sculptures fill an entire garden and gallery. Kerry Park in Queen Anne is a free viewpoint with one of the best skyline outlooks in the city, open daily from early morning to 10pm.
Best road trips from Seattle
- Mount Rainier National Park — about 85 miles, 2–2.5 hours, 2–3 days. Washington’s highest peak, with wildflower meadows at Paradise in summer.
- Olympic National Park — about 3 hours, 3–4 days. Rainforest, mountains and Pacific coastline in one park, reached via a ferry across Puget Sound or the road around it.
- North Cascades National Park — about 2 hours, 2–3 days. Jagged peaks and alpine lakes, one of the least-visited national parks in the country.
- The full Washington loop — combining all three parks runs about 1,225 miles; 10 days is the usual recommendation, and roads are fully open from mid-July through September.
Ferries, mountain roads and winter closures
Washington State Ferries carry RVs on routes like Anacortes to the San Juan Islands, charging a length-based fare for oversized vehicles — check the current schedule and fare before planning a ferry crossing, and note that some island campgrounds cap RV length at 25-30 feet. At Mount Rainier, the road between Longmire and Paradise closes overnight in winter and heavy snow can shut sections of the park for months; RVs under 30 feet are recommended given the ice and snow conditions, and overnight parking is only permitted in designated campgrounds, limited to 14 consecutive days.
When to travel
July through September is the main season, when all three national parks’ high routes are open and the weather is at its driest. Spring and fall are quieter around Seattle itself but some mountain roads close outside summer.

RV rental Seattle — FAQs
Where can I pick up an RV near Seattle?
Owners list vehicles across the greater Puget Sound region, including Bellevue, Tacoma and Everett. A 20–35 mile radius in the search shows the full choice.
Can I take my RV on a Washington State Ferry?
Yes — routes like Anacortes to the San Juan Islands carry RVs, with a fare based on vehicle length. Check the current schedule and fare, and confirm any length restrictions at your destination campground before booking.
Which campgrounds at Mount Rainier take an RV from Seattle?
Cougar Rock takes RVs up to 35 feet and trailers up to 27 feet, and White River takes RVs up to 27 feet (first-come, first-served). Ohanapecosh is closed for 2026 for rehabilitation. None of the park's campgrounds has hookups, and Cougar Rock's dump station is closed until further notice. Cougar Rock is reserved through Recreation.gov. See the NPS campgrounds page.
Do I need chains for an RV on I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass from Seattle?
Possibly, in winter. Washington's rules apply by weight, not vehicle type: vehicles over 10,000 pounds GVWR, which includes many Class C and Class A motorhomes, must install chains whenever chains are required. When "Chains Required on All Vehicles" is posted, that includes four-wheel-drive. Check the GVWR with the owner and watch WSDOT pass signs from autumn to spring. See WSDOT chain rules.
