A visit to Port Townsend is nice if driving north up 101 on the eastern side of the Olympic Peninsula. It's a small town with heritage buildings and retail shops along the waterfront. There is a ferry out of Port Townsend over to Whidbey Island which is a fun ride. From Whidbey Island, you could head over to Anacortes and take the ferry from there over to Vancouver Island.
Or from Whidbey Island, you could make your way up to the border and from Tsawwassen, BC (about 1/2 hour from the border), take the ferry over to Swartz Bay on the Island which is close to Victoria. Then take the Port Angeles ferry back to the US.
You could do a loop around the Olympic Peninsula and take hwy 101 on the west side of the park and then head back on 101 to Ca. on the east side of the park.
If you wanted, you could park your MH in Port Angeles and walk onto the MV Coho to get over to Victoria for a day trip. The ship docks right in downtown Victoria and you don't have to have a vehicle to get around unless you want to see the surrounding area.
I would visit Olympic National Park. It's awesome. Hurricane Ridge is just south of Port Angeles. The 2nd pic is the visitors center at Hurricane Ridge.
This is an excellent book for RV camping in Washington State and is written by RV-ers. Kalaloch CG at Forks is on the water and highly recommended by them. Reportedly very busy so book well in advance, that is, if anything is left.
