Washington ~ 2001

Lush Rainforests ~ Dramatic Mountains ~ Diverse Cities... 

In June of 2001, we toured the Olympic Peninsula, Mount St. Helens and Seattle. Despite the reputation for dreary, drizzly weather, we experienced partly cloudy skies and warm temperatures for most of the trip. The rainforests, beaches and high peaks are beautiful and inspiring. The photographic opportunities are endless. And we thoroughly enjoyed romping around Seattle with our good friends.
