I failed to mention Manchester State Park, it's on the Olympic Peninsula. It's an old WWII submarine camp where the subs loaded torpedos and took on fuel. It also has a old cannon ambush placement site. The Feds turned it over to the State to use as a park after WWII. It has very tall fir and cedar trees all around the campground, lots of wildlife, saltwater beaches 1/2 way around it with great views of downtown Seattle and Mt. Rainier. About 5 to 7 miles down the road on Beach Drive, across the street from the Veterans Home (Retsil) in Port Orchard there's a park and ride where you can park your car, and take a foot ferry to the Bremerton Ferry dock it's across Sinclair Inlet (it's part of the Bremerton Transit System) The Bremerton Ferry sails across Puget Sound docks in downtown Seattle in about 45 minutes. It's about a 5 block walk to the Pike Place Market. You can see the back of the market from the ferry dock and the market has an elevator that takes you up to the market from the waterfront.
