Trip planning Upper Washington State US 101
We will be taking US 101 around the top portion of Washington State this July since we had to skip it several years ago. We will be traveling from Copalis Beach, through Forks and on to Port Angele...

Ferry will be around $100 including passenger and you'd have to make reservations for that trip. I have no problems with driving around and you can take either hwy 18 to I-90 and east or go to 405 and then over to 90. The latter is best done anytime but rush hour.
My preferences for camping on that run around the peninsula are LaPush and you can get a waterfront site that you can pull into. Then there are two places at Neah Bay,one in town and one out on the beach. Next is Salt Creek county park by Joyce before you get to Port Angeles and also the KOA on the west side of town. In Port Angeles area, you want to be sure to see Sol Duc Hot Springs,The upper Elwha river where they have just finished taking two 100 y/o dams out, Hurricane Ridge and of course taking the boat over to Victoria. Yes, Rainbow rv park in Sequim. Our favorite park in Port Townsend is Point Hudson and then Fort Worden. Fort Worden is really hard to get into during the summer. We got our 4th of July res last year on the 5th of July and had our pick of 4 sites left. Both of these are waterfront and big rig.We'll be there from the 2nd till the 9th. (unless the wind is blowing like it did the two times we were there last summer.)
When you drive down, you'll have your choice of driving across the floating bridge across Hood Canal and thru Bremerton to Tacoma across the Narrows Bridge or down 101 to Shelton, Olympia and then Tacoma.
