Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America is in Granite Falls, about 45min drive north of Seattle.

Some videos, depending on how much time you have:

• about seven minutes: four hyperactive young women visit a shrine (Atarashii Gakko)
• about twenty minutes: Shinto explained by a naturalised Brit to a naturalised Canadian (Life Where I’m From)
• about an hour: a five-video series explaining Shinto (Religion for Breakfast)

My own favourite books on Shinto are A Visual Guide to Shinto and Shinto from an International Perspective, both by Yamaguchi Satoshi. However, you have to order them from Japan.

Immanent Legitimation: a book chapter examining the nature of kami in depth.

For more resources, I recommend Rev. Olivia’s reading list.
