Possible Travel Routes
When we get to the PNW we will use the physical maps that we have. While planning I will create some possible routes using Google maps and add them to this page.
From Airport into town - This could be a route we could take depending on time of arrival of airplane. This route would take us from the airport to the closest Walmart and then a 30 minute drive out of the city to Snowqualime Falls and then back in through some scenic points away from the central sightseeing areas downtown and our motel.
Seattle Sightseeing - A list of places in visit in Seattle beginning for the north at Discovery Point to the Pioneer Square area in the south
Seattle to Port Angeles through Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula. The drive ends in our AirBnB in Port Angeles. See the Accommodations page for specific directions to the place since the google maps version is usually incorrect. The other option would be to take the ferry and go to Brisbane Island and start from there to Port Angeles.
Port Angeles to Neah Bay and on to Cape Flattery and She-Shi Beach
From Rain Forest Resort to Nisqually Entrance to Mr. Rainier
Mt. Rainer from Nisqually Entrance to Paradise Area with stops to see.
