Mount Rainier & Olympic NP's- August

Planning our August 2018 trip to your wonderful country. This year we only have roughly 2 weeks to be on the road.
We are starting from our base in NE Oregon and want to visit Mt Rainier & Olympic NPs.
We will probably travel up to Walla Walla then west through Yakima to Mt Rainier then on to Olympic NP doing a clockwise trip around and back to Olympia then south down the coast to Astoria OR. Then east on the 84 to home base.
What I am asking for is any must see's or don't do's or general suggestions.
Also camping suggestions for the National Parks. We are travelling in a 24' Class C with a small toad. I realise August may be a busy time of year.
Thanks for any and all thoughts
Russell
