I don't know why you wouldn't want to stay in Port Townsend. It's close to Olympic Park; it's only a ferry ride away from Vancouver Island or downtown Seattle. Furthermore, Port Townsend is a funky town with charming Victorian homes. You could stay at least two weeks at Fort Worden State Park which has full hookups right on the beach and if you wanted a change of scenery you could try Deception Pass State Park on Whidbey Island which is the most popular park in WA. Alternatively, you could opt to stay at the Escapees Park in Chimicum, just down the road from Port Townsend, if you are an Escapees member. There's excellent 4G service in Port Townsend, although I'm not sure what is available at Deception Pass. Chimicum has 3G service.
