We have both loved exploring the Olympics. It’s my favorite National Park. I’ve got lots of recommendations if you’d like to explore this park!
Point Defiance Park
5400 North Pearl Street, Tacoma, WA 98407
This park has beautiful flowers and tons of trails as well as a zoo and views of the water!
Point Ruston
5020 Main Street, Tacoma, WA 98407
With lots of shops, rental bikes, food, and ice cream, this is a great place to roam and walk along the water.
Lake Crescent
WA 98363
One of my favorite lakes in Washington.
Port Townsend
Port Townsend, WA 98368
A quaint Victorian town. Also where my parents live now.
Chambers Bay
WA
More beautiful views of the water and the Olympics, with walking trails, and a golf course!
Leavenworth
Leavenworth, WA 98826
A beautiful German town on the east side of the Cascades.
Vashon
Vashon, WA 98070
If you’re wanting to take the ferry but not travel far, a ferry leaves from Tacoma and Seattle to this beautiful island. Car is usually the easiest way to get around and explore the island. There’s a beautiful lighthouse out there.
Mount Rainier National Park
WA
The iconic national park! It’s a bit of a drive but definitely worth the trip!
