Washington

We landed in Sekiu almost by accident after our plans for Forks fell through, and ended up staying six weeks on the edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It turned out to be one of the best surprises of the trip.

After five moves in twelve days, we stopped in Forks and found eleven days of rainforest, tide pools, and the rugged coastline of La Push, our base camp for exploring the Olympic Peninsula.

A quick overnight on the way to a family reunion turned into ten days beside Skate Creek. Packwood gave our family a creekside reset in the shadow of Mount Rainier.
