It was a clear morning when we drove north to Edmonds, then board the ferry to Kingston, on the Olympic Peninsula.
We then drove north west, across the Hood Canal Bridge.
We stopped at Port Townsend (which has the second largest collection of Victorian homes in the US, after San Francisco) for a stroll, and a good Japanese lunch - http://hanazonoasiannoodle.com/ .
We then headed south, passing "Fat Smittys", as the weather started to deteriorate.
We drove up to Mt Walker, which provides spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains, depending on how clear it is - which obviously it wasn't.
Whilst the weather didn't provide many good photo opportunities, the drive along Highway 101, by the side of the Hood Canal, was beautiful.
Then near Olympia, we started our drive north, back to Seattle on Interstate 5, normally a 60 mile, 1 hour drive. However due to the worst driving conditions we can recall, and an accident up ahead, the journey took almost 3 hours.
Anyhow, home safe and sound.
