The Olympic Peninsula is huge and the two-lane highway very busy. It would be difficult to find just one spot from which to sightsee. I would recommend moving 3x. One stay could be in the Port Townsend area (your longest stay as there is so much to do, even taking day trips to various islands or even to Seattle's waterfront), another stay could be Salt Creek campground, and another stay around the Forks area to do the rain forests.
The weather? Variable - like the weatherman says. Expect more misty days than total sun. Between July 5 and August 15 is the best.
Even Sequim, billed as in the 'banana belt' gets its share of cloudy, misty days. It might get less than the other areas but it still gets some.
