From Tacoma, WA we head northwest to the Olympic peninsula. Along the way we stop in Sequim, the lavender capital of the US. We are too early. The flowers don’t bloom till later in the summer. We stop anyway and have lunch at a cute retro diner.
A little further west in Port Angeles, we enter Olympic National Park and stop at the Visitor Center. They give us the lay of the land. From there we drive the 17 miles uphill to Hurricane Ridge where we get a view of the Olympic Mountains. Even though they aren’t that high they have a pretty good snow-pack on top of them. It is drizzling and cloudy. Also spring has just come to the mountains and the wildflowers have yet to reach full bloom.

We spend the night in Port Angeles and eat at a pretty good Thai restaurant for dinner.
