Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Tamara Comeau and Ben Watanabe
Our venue is just up the hill with views of the misnamed Hood Canal (it is a fjord, carved by the receding Cordilleran Ice Sheet between 3,000 and 1,500 feet thick about 13,000 years ago). A few state parks are within reach by vehicle and offer beach access. Be warned, the beaches are covered in oysters and barnacles. We recommend wearing aquatic footwear unless you are tough as hell and cool dancing all night on mangled feet. If you seek less physical risk (hopefully) and more financial thrill, the Little Creek Casino Resort in Shelton is about 20 miles south of the venue. Other golf options include the Lakeland Village Golf Course in Allyn, as well as the Lake Kushman Golf Course (a 9-hole woodland course in the Olympic Peninsula up the hill from Hoodsport). In Belfair, you can find the Woodshed, a dive bar where Jim once lost an arm wrestling tilt to a man named Ashley who was wearing a light pink polo shirt. There are also grocery stores, a Taco Bell, Starbucks, and McDonalds.

R&R'S WOODSHED BAR AND GRILL

23698 Washington 3, Belfair, WA 98528

Fun small town dive bar. Jim almost lost his arm in an arm wrestling tilt against a man named Ashley who wore a very tight pink polo and when asked "will you arm wrestle our friend for his bachelor party" Ashley did not even look at our group before saying, "Yes." But Jim won a sex toy from the bartenders for being a good sport about us hazing him for hours.

Theler Wetlands Trail

22803 WA-33, Belfair, WA 98528

Take a walk in the wetlands.

Never been. Imagine it's cool.

Lakeland Village Golf Course/Pro Shop

200 East Old Ranch Road, Allyn, WA 98524

Fun golf course with 27 holes (18-hole and a 9-hole that can be combined with 9 from the other full course). Steven hates it here. Caleb once quit by the 12th hole and was ready to fight the group in front that was playing slow and hit into them.

Lake Cushman Golf Course

210 North Fairway Drive West, Hoodsport, WA 98548

Fun executive 9-hole course up in the Olympic mountain range foothills. Derek lost his phone here.

Pedal along an old logging railtrack

Have meant to do this for a while but hasn't worked out. Could be fun if you like exercise, natural and industrial history of Washington state, and/or the book and movie "Train Dreams."
