Going to Seattle in June. Staying with family in Bremerton at the front and back end of an 11 day trip.
Itinerary includes Seattle City Pass(needle, zoo, aquarium, glass garden, ferry tour), Mariners game and the Market the first couple days. We then drive to Olympic Natl Park for hot springs, rain forest, a few beaches and some hiking. Then down to Kurt cobain Memorial and Cape Disappointment. Do the cape and then down to Cannon Beach tide pools. We'll go as far south as Florence Oregon for Sea Lion caves and Dune Buggies. Then back north thru Corvallis and Eugene. Columbia Gorge and Multnomah waterfalls and back to Bremerton.
Aside from swimming at Colman Pool which some say is best public pool in the US, we'll have 2 more days to kill.
Anyone ever been out that way? Did I miss anything? Is a whale watching tour worth the $500 it will cost me?
Also...we were originally gonna do Redwoods and Portland. Heard Portland is crime ridden (lots of car break ins) and Redwoods not worth the extra 7 hours of driving (with teens in the car) since we've been to Yosemite already.
