The best J experiences out of Seattle for the foreseeable future are going to be TPAC flights to asia. The new A330NEO is rumored to have suites when it launches mid year, and will be covering SEA-ICN/PVG/NRT at first.

Have you ever done Japan? It’s a lovely place to explore, and given what you’ve described I think the Kansai region (including especially Kyoto) would be right up your alley.

New Zealand is another great outdoorsy destination. Not the easiest to get there on miles, but if you can find Virgin Austealia award availability and are flexible it might be possible. Try searching LAX-BNE-AKL/CHC/ZQN for the best chance at finding something; you may need to pay for SEA-LAX yourself on a separate ticket to get the lowest rates.

Dont forget YVR is close by. Lots of DL partners fly out of there (China Airlines, China Eastern, Air France, KLM, Korean Air) giving you lots of chances to find decent award redemption values.
