Driving by, you might wonder why there's a huge shark coming out of this building. But if you head inside, there's a unique shop to explore with a wide selection of gifts like t-shirts, hats, shot glasses and more. Located in Ocean Shores by the coast, the shark theme fits right in.

Inspired by the Pantheon in Greece, this public gazebo was created from recycled bits of giant circuit breakers for its columns. The futuristic work was made in honor of the small town of Newhalem, which has a long history of providing electricity to Seattle.

You may not be able to drive over this bridge, but it's still incredibly adorable to look at. Before it was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic by running across the street to eat their nuts at an office building, and then back again to a park with huge trees. After seeing many squirrels not survive the trip, a local resident designed "The World's Narrowest Bridge" over Olympia Way by the Civic Center - with a total cost of only about $1,000.

On the corner of 1st & Pearl Street you can find this one-of-a-kind home with incredible detail.

Elephant Rock is a stunning rock formation among a group of sea stacks and arches at the south end of Tunnel Island.

Science suggests these pillars were formed from erosion thousands of years ago, but there's a local Native American legend that claims otherwise. According to the Washington Trails Association, the legend states that they were formed when an animal spirit fell in love with three sisters, but later became jealous of them and turned two into stone & the third into a cave. Regardless of how they were formed, it's definitely a striking feature to see while hiking along the Wallula Gap by the Columbia River.
