Hi Jessie, We lived in Mukilteo WA about 20 miles north of Seattle for 12 years. Everything in the NW is beautiful, green and lush. The Victoria trip is just the best. I agree with everything Cathryn has said. There is a lot to do in Victoria but don't confine yourself to that area. Butchart Gardens are incredible. Last time I went I was with 3 of my childhood friends. High tea in the gardens was fabulous and a memory we will always treasure. Chemoinous is a small town north of Victoria which is famous for its' murals painted on buildings. It is a historical town and we all loved the time spent there. We took a horse-drawn carriage ride that was narrated and enjoyed learning about the town. The town of Duncan is known for its' totem poles. I think you will have a wonderful time on your trip. I have always wanted to take an Alaska cruise but we never got around to it though we were so close. I'll be so anxious to hear about your trip when you return. How many days will you be in Victoria and how many days altogether for your trip? We'll miss you! Take care and God bless.
