Olympic Peninsula

The Olympic Peninsula is a huge area of mountains and forests in the very northeastern point of Washington state.  From Seattle, which is on Puget Sound, the peninsula extends approx. 90 miles to the west, and is about 70 miles north/south.  We hung out there for about 10 days.


this is Crescent Lake, a freshwater inland lake on the peninsula
(also gives you a motorhome's eye view)

Looking out over Port Angles onto the Strait of Juan de Fuca, separating the peninsula from Vancouver Island

down on the coastal plains, the Olympic Mountains make a beautiful backdrop

There are really 12 different ferry routes in the area between Seattle and the main Peninsula. I've read there is an unbelievable number of people who live on the islands and peninsulas and commute to the mainland for work every day.
