10 Surprising Bucket List Movies Filmed in Washington State

There have been many, MANY movies filmed in the Evergreen State, and when I stumbled upon this list, my jaw dropped. Certain films I had watched dozens of times, and had no idea they were filmed so close. I got the last and the one that blew me away below.

John McClane In Moses Lake, Washington

The sequel to Die Hard, which was released in July of 1990, Die Hard 2: Die Harder, had some pretty important scenes that were filmed near Moses Lake in 1989.

One of the most important scenes of the film (spoiler alert for a 25+ year old movie) is where John McClane (played by Bruce Willis) is waving the torches at the airport.

That is just one example of these great films that were filmed in Washington, which, if you haven’t checked out yet, do yourself a favor, and make a date night! Check this list out below.
