...And little stops in between. I've been here before, eight years ago-but I don't recall sightseeing too much. I do remember going to Victoria and since I've been there recently I didn't want to go again, so I just took day trips to see what's on the Olympic Peninsula. Of course, you have to take into the fact that it's beautiful, sunny and warm for two or three days, then stormy, rainy and icky for the next three days..so trips came in spurts.
This is Discovery Bay. Its East of Port Townsend and flow into the Straits of Juan De Fuca
Right at the point of the Bay is a very nice Visitors information/center run by the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe. It's actually in a little town called Blyn. As you get into Port Angeles you see the signs to the Olympic National Park
The drive to Hurricane Ridge is stunning! Not to be missed!
The deer are so tame-but it's best to remember they're not! They can do a lot of damage to a car. I saw a lot of signs about elk but no live elk today....
There's a spectacular Visitor's Center at Hurricane Ridge-and the view-oh my!
I took these to show the panoramic view of the Mts., including Mt. Olympis
And now, on to the Lavendar Festival this weekend!

The northwest part of the country is gorgeous . . . and I'm so envious you get to go to the Lavender Festival, something I've always thought would be lovely! I can smell the fragrance as I write. Have a blast and a half!
