Steeped in history, Vancouver is the oldest city in Washington. Once the largest western outpost of the British Hudson's Bay Company, where supplies and food were bartered in the 1800s, it was closed in 1860 as Americans took over commerce. The outpost was later recreated as the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. For more history, check out the Pearson Air Field, the oldest operating airfield in the West, where vintage aircraft are displayed at the Pearson Air Museum. If adventure is your bag, Vancouver is the perfect base for day trips to the Columbia River Gorge, the breathtakingly beautiful 70-mile river stretch that cuts through the Cascade Mountains, or Mount St. Helens, the site of the famous volcano, both of which offer a slew of outdoor activities. For calmer pastimes, cruise the picturesque river in the Columbia Gorge riverboat, or visit Beacon Rock, the world's second largest monolith, where a walking trail leads to spectacular panoramic views.

NW Escape Experience is Vancouver, Washington's most immersive physical adventure game in which players are locked in a room and must use elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles and escape within a set time limit.
We took our granddaughters (ages 17, 12, 11) to the Kill Room. As the murder character, Tim was an amazing actor. His scary voice added to the whole experience although we never felt threatened or unsafe. Only the 12-year old was a little nervous but she was game for solving clues. The girls were very clever whereas the adults were of no help at all. This might not be the best room for your first escape experience (it wasn't the first for the girls). We needed a bit of help to open the first lock in order to get to the room with the next locked items which contained clues for release from the room. We knew we were being observed by Tim in the next room, so he was on hand the entire time to either ramp up the fright or provide clues (all in his gravely, scary voice). This room is rated as "difficult" and we all agreed that this is the case. But we also agreed it was a very good experience. It is helpful if you are a local as there is some map reading that goes faster if you understand where streets/avenues are located. So....if you think you are very smart at solving puzzles in order to open locks, and you don't mind the frightening overtones (not quite as bad as a haunted house at Halloween), this is absolutely a well-planned escape room.
