Kitsap Peninsula
|
|
|
| |
Only nine nautical miles from Seattle and separated from the Olympic
Peninsula by the Hood Canal, the Kitsap Peninsula provides a peaceful
escape from city traffic. The Great Peninsula, as Kitsap is actually
called, has so many arms of land jutting into the Puget Sound that the
area has a disproportionate amount of shoreline. Rocky beaches give
way to sandy shores, farm land and a forested interior. While Kitsap
lacks the soaring mountains characteristic of the Olympic Peninsula
interior, it has a different sort of appeal. |

Olympic National Park
|
Population: 8500
|
|
| |
From ice encrusted-crags to crisp glacial lakes, salty ocean beaches
and the deep, quiet damp of temperate rainforest, the Olympic National
Park is a small paradise on earth. Bears meander along slopes strewn
with wildflowers in summer, while visitors wander narrow trails that
penetrate this beautiful wilderness. A relatively short jaunt from
the civilized world, a visit to the Olympics can be short, sedate and
scenic or, with the proper pack, long, solitary and strenuous. |

Whidbey Island
|
|
|
| |
Forests drop down to hidden coves, rocky beaches and steep cliffs at
Whidbey Island's edges. Connected to the Washington mainland by a
bridge spanning spectacular Deception Pass, this island is a popular
Puget Sound getaway for visitors up on the ferry from Seattle, or down
by road from the north. Despite the fact that the island is so easily
accessible, Whidbey Island is a worthwhile stop, crowds or no. |
