We've stayed at the Chimacum park many times and have taken the two routes. If you have plenty of time take 5 to 12 to Hoquiam then 101 around the Peninsula.

You could stop at Forks RV and check out the rain forest of Olympic Nat'l Park - nice flat walking and interesting. Then continue on 101 east to Chimacum.
It really isn't too bad to take I-5 to Tacoma and then 16/3 north. It's more scenic but also more traffic but not too bad.

We never liked taking 101 from Olympia north to Shelton, Hoodsport, Brinnon, Quilcene. The road is kind of narrow and curvy and the trucks drive fast.
