NEWCOMERS’ AND VISITORS’ GUIDE ✣ SPRING | SUMMER 2010

The best-selling series about vampires and WEREWOLVES — intertwined with a love story — COMES TO LIFE on the North Olympic Peninsula.

Biology class: Fans take photos in front of Forks High School.

Fans are welcome to drive by the house, but since it is a private residence, they are asked to respect the family’s privacy and not go on the property or ask to take photos inside.

The Miller Tree Inn, 654 E. Division St., with its large windows and open and airy layout, fits the bill for the Cullen house.

Each day, “Esme” — Edward’s “vampire mother” — leaves a note on a dry erase board outside to let fans know what the Cullens are doing.

Feel free to take pictures, but please do not go inside unless you are a registered guest.

Visitors still have the unique opportunity to see the original 1925 Forks High School building at 261 S. Spartan Ave., where Bella and Edward meet in biology class. Old, deteriorating portions of the campus will be replaced starting in June.

orks and the rest of the North Olympic Peninsula have been bitten

by Twilight mania, and the excitement doesn’t appear to be letting up anytime soon.

Die-hard fans, eager to see the birthplace of author Stephenie Meyer’s famous books, come here to retrace the footprints of their favorite characters — from Forks High School where Bella and Edward attend school, out to LaPush where Bella visits her werewolf friend, Jacob.

Most of the four books in the Twilight series — and now two motion pictures, with a third to be released in June — are set in tiny Forks.

Each year, the city celebrates Stephenie Meyer Weekend in honor of Bella’s birthday, which is Sept. 13.

This year’s celebration is slated for Sept. 11-12. The popular event is a busy weekend, so be sure to reserve rooms early if you plan on attending.

Forks is about 60 miles west of Port Angeles along U.S. Highway 101. You’ll spot the famous “Welcome to Forks” sign as you enter, where fans from all over the world have had their pictures taken.

The Forks Visitor Center, 1411 S. Forks Ave., is at the south end of town. At the visitor center, the staff will direct visitors to local landmarks as well as share all the juicy tidbits about the area.

While you can give yourself a self-guided tour through all the Twilight hotspots, some businesses also provide tours.

Fiction and real life intertwine as fans can find locations and elements from the novels throughout town.

Although Stephenie Meyer didn’t have specific Forks homes picked out when she described them in her books — she didn’t visit Forks until the first book was completed — the Forks Chamber of Commerce has dubbed a couple of homes as those of Bella and Edward.

The McIrvin residence at 775 K St. is considered the Swan residence.

Other key Forks locations to check out: ■ Forks Visitor Center, 1411 S. Forks Ave., to take photos next to a replica of Bella’s red Chevrolet pickup truck. Find Twilight information here as well.

■ Forks Police Department, 500 E. Division St., to take pictures next to a car just like the one belonging to Police Chief Charlie Swan, Bella’s father.

■ Forks Community Hospital, 530 Bogachiel Way, where Bella — a self-proclaimed klutz — is a frequent visitor and Dr. Carlisle Cullen — Edward’s “father” — is employed. The hospital even has a special reserved parking spot for Dr. Cullen.

■ Forks Outfitters, 950 S. Forks Ave., considered the “Newton’s Olympic Outfitters” store owned by the Newton family and where Bella works. >>

a Port Angeles

bout 15 miles west of Forks on state Highway 110 is LaPush, another town with Twilight fame.

LaPush may be off-limits to vampires, but werewolf fans — and yes, vampire fans, too — can visit the Quileute reservation where Bella’s friend Jacob lives.

You’ll know you are getting close when you see the treaty line marked with a “No vampires beyond this point” sign.

Visitors can enjoy the natural beauty of the Quileute reservation while checking out First Beach, where Bella first learned of “the cold ones” from Jacob, who is later revealed to be a werewolf.

The cliffs where the werewolves and Bella are said to have gone cliff diving are also visible from LaPush — but visitors should beware that such diving is dangerous and illegal.

The Quileute have a strong connection to wolves in legends, although no werewolves and vampires actually exist in them.

Each Wednesday, a drumming and healing circle is set up for tribal members to share stories, dance and culture with each other and any visitors. The event is at the Quileute Community Center, just off of First Beach.

A field located near the Quillayute Prairie Cemetery has reportedly been the site of some unusual baseball games. Please be respectful of the cemetery.

While Forks has no movie theater, “Twilight” and “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” were both shown in Port Angeles at Lincoln Theater, 132 E. First St., which is considered the same theater where Bella and her friends see films.

Fans often show up before opening night to take in all the excitement; for “Twilight” and “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” a line to the ticket counter formed days before the special midnight showings of each.

The third movie “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” will be released in theaters June 30 and you can bet that plenty of vampire activities will be planned.

■ The bookstore where Bella goes to shop after her friends look for dresses has two possibilities — it could be either Odyssey Bookshop, 114 W. Front St., or Port Book and News, 104 E. First St., which are both near Bella Italia.

■ Although the store where Bella’s friends buy their dresses is not named in the books, a dress display is set up at 200 W. First St., site of the former Gottschalks department store. It had been considered the store the characters shopped at in Port Angeles.

Port Townsend, a Victorian seaport For

visitors who enjoy

DELVING into

history,

Port

Townsend

is the ideal place to VISIT. Just driving through this QUINTESSENTIAL

Victorian

town seems like a step back in time.

County history: Jefferson County Courthouse

Port Townsend sits on the tip of the Quimper Peninsula, surrounded by the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north and Puget Sound to the east.

There are numerous harbors around Port Townsend Bay and Admiralty Inlet, including Point Hudson Marina and Port Townsend Boat Haven.

At the turn of the 20th century, Port Townsend was a bustling seaport and many elegant buildings lined the waterfront. It was known as the “City of Dreams” because of speculation that it would be the largest harbor on the West Coast.

Port Townsend’s past is kept alive as the city is full of Victorian houses and business buildings that have been restored, the result of an organized effort by city residents.

Port Townsend was the first city in Washington state to establish the Main Street program, encouraging preservation of historical districts, renovation and restoration of buildings.

There is so much history preserved in Port Townsend that it is one of only three cities nationwide that are on the National Register of Historic Places. The city and Fort Worden State Park are also national landmarks.

Many of the historical homes have been redesigned as bed-and-breakfast establishments. For an overview of the historical sites, take a walking tour (see map on Page 15.)

Downtown, visitors may feel as though the main thoroughfare, Water Street, came out of an old-fashioned western movie. But art galleries, chic clothing boutiques and unique shops make the window shopper feel like this is Seattle.

Be sure to check out the seaside restaurants and cafés, where you can relax and watch kayakers paddling by or sailboats catching the breeze. On a clear day you can see Mount Rainier and Mount Baker.

The Bell Tower on the bluff at Tyler and Jefferson streets, overlooking the downtown Port Townsend business district, was built more than a century ago and historically used to summon volunteer firemen.

The Haller Fountain, a statue at Taylor and Washington streets, is a replica of one presented to the city in 1906 by Theodore Haller and is the centerpiece of a renovated plaza.

The Jefferson County Courthouse, built in Port Townsend in 1891, includes the Hall of Honor, which is sponsored by the Jefferson County Historical Society to honor the county’s early pioneers.

Manresa Castle on Castle Hill in Port Townsend was built in 1892. It later was owned and remodeled by the Jesuit priests. The beautifully restored building is now used as a hotel and restaurant. >>

Most visitors to the North Olympic Peninsula cross the Hood Canal Bridge, the longest floating bridge over salt water in the world.

The 1.5-mile long bridge connects the Kitsap Peninsula to the Olympic Peninsula along state Highway 104.

The original bridge opened in 1961, but on Feb. 13, 1979, hurricane-force winds carrying gusts of 120 mph and an extremely high tide ripped the west half from its anchors, sinking it.

Peninsula residents spent more than two years without a bridge while the west half was replaced.

The bridge reopened in October 1982.

The western half of the bridge was widened in 2005, and in 2009, the eastern half was replaced.

ride the ferry to port townsend Steilacoom II

Enjoy the simple pleasure of riding a ferry between Port Townsend and Keystone on Whidbey Island.

The route is served by the 50-car ferry Steilacoom II, which has been used since the 80-year-old Steel Electric ferries were pulled in 2007.

Reservations for the Steilacoom II are available by calling 888-808-7977 or visiting www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries.

As of publication, the new 64-car ferry Chetzemoka is set to launch in August.

The new ferry is named for Chetzemoka, a former Chetzemoka Klallam chief, and was suggested by Jefferson County Historical Society members The second ferry for the route has yet to be named.

Fourth-grade students at Blue Heron Middle School in Port Townsend suggested the winning ferry classification name — the Kwa-di Tabil class, pronounced “kwah DEE tah-bale” — which means “little boat” in the Quileute language.

jefferson COUNTY Sun and sand: Beachcombers at Fort Worden State Park.

Downtown: Victorian buildings in downtown Port Townsend.

Nearly two dozen parks dot Port Townsend. The showpiece is Chetzemoka Park at Jackson and Blaine streets. Named in honor of the Klallam chief Chetzemoka, friend of the pioneers, the park overlooks Admiralty Inlet. It includes a bandstand built in 1905, gardens, picnic area, children’s playground, hiking paths, arbor, beach access and restrooms.

Kah Tai Lagoon is a nature park that is home to many species of seabirds and other fowl. It was developed with volunteer labor and grant funding into a community park.

For those who prefer a quiet moment near water, North Beach, a favorite destination for many locals, offers beautiful vistas of the Strait of Juan de Fuca inlet during daylight hours.

The park, located at the end of Kuhn Street, features sandy stretches framed by steep bluffs.

Point Hudson Marina is one of two moorage facilities in Port Townsend. Port Townsend Boat Haven and the adjacent industrial park illustrate one of the town’s leading industries: boat building and related marine activities.

Port Townsend Paper Corp. mill at Glen Cove is the town’s major industry. Ships load kraft paper products for other parts of the world in the deepwater port.

The Jefferson County Historical Society Museum, 540 Water St., Port Townsend, offers Jefferson County artifacts, archives and family histories. The City Council chambers are located on the upper floor of the building.

The Rothschild House at Taylor and Washington streets was built in 1867. This New England-style house was the home of D.C.H. Rothschild, one of the town’s first merchants. The house is maintained by the state parks department and run by the Jefferson County Historical Society.

Union Wharf, built in 1867, was the first incorporated business in Washington Territory.

It was most recently a fish processing plant, one of many activities during its long career, which included being home to the Women’s Christian Temperance League, a brothel and a blacksmith. It has been renovated and features a timber frame pavilion.

Between Port Townsend and Port Angeles, U.S. Highway 101 winds around the south end of a tranquil bay.

Discovery Bay is an ideal place to take a rest from the road, stay overnight or just get away from the faster pace of living.

The Port of Port Townsend owns a public recreational boat launch in Gardiner. While kayakers sometimes paddle along the shoreline, the bay is typically quiet.

However, the bay’s quiet waters once served as an anchorage for wooden tall ships.

British explorer Capt. George Vancouver found Discover Bay in 1792 and named the body of water after his flagship, HMS Discovery.

After a sawmill was built in 1853, boats carried wood in and out of the bay.

Fort Worden State Park Port Townsend, Washington

Face the past at historic military parks.

Located at the northern tip of Marrowstone Island is Fort Flagler State Park, a 784-acre park surrounded by salt water on three sides, making it a prime location for on-the-water activities.

With its island location and historical turn-of-the-century Army base, Fort Flagler is a popular place for visitors to find a variety of outdoor activities.

Barracks, officers’ quarters and a hospital were used in World War I and World War II. A favorite feature that can be toured: the nine-gun batteries atop the bluff.

Fort Flagler also has four miles of hiking and biking trails, and the woods are home to a variety of wildlife, including blacktail deer, skunk, coyote and bald eagle.

Built between 1897 and 1907, the Army base was the first of seven coastal artilleries constructed in Washington. Along with Port Townsend’s Fort Worden and Fort Casey on Whidbey Island, the fort was part of the “Triangle of Fire� that guarded the entrance to Puget Sound.

One must-see in Port Townsend is Fort Worden State Park.

With its original buildings now restored for use as park, conference, educational and entertainment facilities, Fort Worden offers an insight into the military history of the area during the first half of the 20th century.

It is the home to the Centrum Foundation, which is especially noted for its summer festivals, and the Port Townsend School of Wood Working, which offers courses for woodworkers of all skill levels.

Fort Worden State Park offers numerous scenic beach trails and the Point Wilson Light Station. The light station helps guide ships past the famous riptides off Point Wilson where the waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound meet. fort worden

Fort Townsend State Park is a 367-acre marine camping park located four miles south of Port Townsend. It features 3,960 feet of saltwater shoreline on Port Townsend Bay, nature and history interpretive events, and 6.5 miles of hiking trails through a natural forest area.

The heavily wooded park has a rich military history dating from pioneer days. The park occupies more than a third of the original Fort Townsend built in 1856 by the U.S. Army for the protection of settlers.

The fort was closed between 1859 and 1874 — declared “unfit� after an inspection — and reopened in 1874. In 1895, fire destroyed the barracks. The property was then used as an enemy-munitions defusing station during World War II. fort townsend

Since then, â&#x20AC;&#x153;more than 235 kids have worked at the Aero Museum, learning how to repair, restore and maintain planes,â&#x20AC;? he says, with many even receiving flight training to obtain their private pilot licenses.

The youth mentorship program requires a lot of hard work and dedication â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jerry describes it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;aviation boot camp.â&#x20AC;? Participants learn job skills training, plus self-discipline, leadership, responsibility and civic duty to the community.

Quilcene & Brinnon Nestled like two jewels between the calm waters of the Hood Canal and the great Olympic National Forest are Quilcene and Brinnon.

Quilcene Bay, on Hood Canal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is a naturally formed fjord, not a man-made canal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is known for producing some of the Northwestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most delicious oysters.

The bay is shallow enough that in the summer, the water warms sufficiently and provides enjoyable swimming.

A public beach is located at the end of Linger Longer Road, just past Quilcene off U.S. Highway 101.

Many hiking trails wind through areas of Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park. Mount Walker, the easternmost summit of the Olympic Mountains, offers one of the most fantastic views of Puget Sound. Mount Walker Viewpoint Road is 5 miles south of Quilcene on Walker Pass.

South of Quilcene is Brinnon, another community known for its shellfish. Harbor seals can often be seen near Seal Rock, two miles north of Brinnon. Oyster-gathering opportunities on the beach, especially at low-tide, are said to be excellent.

The Brinnon Shrimp Fest is a weekend festival celebrating Hood Canal Sport Shrimp and other local seafood, held May 29 and 30.

Treat yourself to a unique musical experience at the Olympic Music Festival, where you can hear chamber music performed at a turn-ofthe-century dairy farm in Quilcene all summer.

The Whitney Gardens, Highway 101 in Brinnon, features more than 70 species and 300 hybrid varieties of rhododendrons, the state flower.

Port Hadlockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Hadlock Days festival is known for its popular lawnmower races. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event is July 9-11.

Nearby is Port Ludlow, a residential and recreational community built up around the shores of Ludlow Bay. It boasts a top-rated championship golf course, the Resort at Port Ludlow, scenic drives, trails and hikes and boat launches. Port Ludlow Days takes place July 30 to Aug. 1.

MARITIME heritage

Port Townsend celebrates its past with the Wooden Boat Festival and maritime education programs.

For a town surrounded by salt water on three sides, Port Townsend’s much celebrated Wooden Boat Festival is only a brief hint of the area’s rich maritime culture.

This year’s 34th festival runs Sept. 10 through 12 and traditionally draws classic wooden boats and crowds of boat lovers from near and far with its numerous workshops and vendors.

The event lasts three days, filling Point Hudson Marina with live music, delicious seafood and beautiful wooden boats.

A highlight of the weekend is the regatta, when all the boats take to the water for a sail down the bay.

Wind willing, it’s a thrilling sight.

For those who love the sea, Port Townsend keeps its marinas, beaches, docks, boat rentals and maritime centers alive and accessible 365 days a year. For more, click on www. woodenboat.org/festival. boat festival

The Wooden Boat Foundation (www.woodenboat.org) is in charge of organizing the festival and also offers a wide range of maritime educational courses, such as big and small boat sail training courses that include Puget Sound trips in the summer and fall. wooden boat

THE BOAT SCHOOL Port Hadlock organization keeps boatbuilding traditions alive.

Jefferson County has a rich maritime past that continues to thrive today.

Port Hadlock is home to the famous Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding, locally known as “The Boat School.”

The school’s mission is to teach and preserve the skills and crafts associated with fine wooden boatbuilding and other traditional maritime arts with emphasis on the development of the individual as a craftsperson.

Since its founding in 1981 by Puget Sound Master Shipwright Bob Prothero, the school has taught the marine trades vocationally and recreationally.

More than one thousand students have graduated from the school’s vocational programs, and thousands more have attended summer and community workshops in traditional maritime arts. The tradition continues today on the new Heritage Campus, located on the historic Port Hadlock waterfront.

The school currently offers six courses which can lead to an associate’s degree.

The Boat School shops are open to visitors Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the school welcomes walk-in visitors. Parking is available next to the boat ramp at the foot of Lower Hadlock Road in Port Hadlock, just off Oak Bay Road.

The Boat School is not associated with the Northwest Maritime Center.

For more information, click on www.nwboatschool.org or phone 360-385-4948.

Creatures of the deep Find a hands-on experience with marine life at Fort Worden.

The Port Townsend Marine Science Center on the public fishing pier at Fort Worden State Park offers children and adults hands-on experience with marine life with saltwater aquariums and touch tanks.

Visitors can learn to identify a variety of common beach rocks, examine sands from around the world, see diving birds fly through schools of fish, compare fossils of ancient marine animals to their present day relatives and more.

A new exhibit in the works — dubbed The Orca Project — is intended to improve public awareness of the challenges faced by killer whales. The centerpiece of the new exhibit will be the mounted skeleton of an orca that stranded nearby.

For more information, click on www.ptmsc.org or phone 360-385-5582.

Port Townsend Film Festival Watch some amazing movies and converse with talented filmmakers at the popular Port Townsend Film Festival, scheduled for Sept. 24 through 26.

The event was modeled on the concept of the popular festival in Telluride, Colo., and spearheaded by Rocky Friedman, a highly respected local film lover who restored and operates Port Townsend’s Rose Theatre.

The annual festival features a famous special guest and includes independent, foreign, classic, art-house narrative and documentary films plus many specialty programs, all showing at several venues throughout Port Townsend.

Tickets can be purchased for the whole event or for individual showings. You can also relax on straw bales for the free, family-friendly Taylor Street outdoor movies under the stars. For more information, click on www.ptfilmfest.com.

the pit stops Victorian homes grace many Port Townsend streets. Just a few to drive by are the Starrett House, the F.W. Hastings House, the James House and Lizzie’s Inn, all located in the uptown district. The Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce can provide Starrett information on many other historic homes and buildings.

Located at Fort Worden State Park, Centrum is a gathering place for artists and creative thinkers that produces workshops, artist residencies and public performances.

Popular summer events include the Festival of American Fiddle Tunes, the Port Townsend Writers’ Conference, Jazz Port Townsend Workshop, and the Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival.

Sample the wares at two Port Townsend breweries.

Port Townsend Brewing Company, 330 19th St., No. C., is the place to go if you’re in the mood for a little relaxation with some friends in a great local atmosphere.

Downtown at Water Street Brewing & Ale House, 639 Water St., you’ll be met with friendly faces in this restaurant and brewery in an old Victorian building.

The Rose Theatre, 235 Taylor St., and The Uptown Theatre, 1120 Lawrence St., both in Port Townsend, are two charming movie theaters. There is even a movie drive-in, Wheel-InMotor Movie Drive-In, off of Highway 19.

Since 1983, the Kinetic Skulpture Race has challenged people to build a human-powered vehicle to maneuver a course that includes water, sand and a giant mud pit.

This year’s event is Oct. 1 to 3.

Mt. Townsend Creamery, 338 Sherman St., Port Townsend, produces wonderful local cheeses. The creamery itself is housed in a 50-year-old warehouse that has been home to boat builders, glass repair companies, a radical fringe publisher and, most recently, the Department of Licensing.

Aldrich’s Market, 940 Lawrence St., Port Townsend, is a must-see stop because it is the descendant of one of the oldest grocery stores in the state and you can often buy fish and crab right off the fishing boats in the marina.

SEQUIM Protected from U.S. Highway 101 traffic by a bypass, Sequim is a friendly town that offers access to the Dungeness Valley. Sequim, pronounced “Skwim,” is sometimes referred to as the “blue hole” because it sits in the rain shadow of the Olympic Peninsula and only gets about 17 inches of rain each year.

Cline Spit, off Marine Drive in the New Dungeness area, of the original New Dungeness town, was the first Clallam County seat.

In the early 1890s, a thriving community developed at the edge of a three-quarter mile dock, the remains of which can still be seen.

Oyster House on the Port of Port Angeles boat ramp on Marine Drive at Dungeness Bay. Oysters once were harvested year-round and packed for wholesale and retail.

The McAlmond House, built in 1861, is west of the Old Dungeness Schoolhouse, on the bluffs. Designated a national historical site, it was the first house of sawed lumber built in the county. The home is not open to the public.

Old Dungeness Schoolhouse, west of the river at Dungeness, was a public school from until 1955. It is a state historical site and is preserved by the Museum and Arts Center.

unny weather is one of many things that makes Sequim a favorite retirement spot and a good bet for a rain-free picnic.

If this is your first visit, stop by the Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center at the east end of town for a self-guided tour of local attractions, both in town and in the valley beyond.

The in-town tour includes the scale model of a working water wheel at the Visitors Center, the Sister City Friendship Garden at Carrie Blake Park, Pioneer Park with its colorful flower gardens and foliage, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six scenic murals and Heritage Park, Sequimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest park on the way to the downtown business district.

Downtown, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find specialty gift shops, art and antique dealers and small-town cafĂŠs. Efforts are under way to make the downtown areas even more pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly.

Irrigation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; namely, the opening of the first ditch channeling water from the Dungeness River â&#x20AC;&#x201D; brought the community together more than 100 years ago.

Today, the annual Irrigation Festival â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the oldest continuing festival in Washington â&#x20AC;&#x201D; celebrates the initiation, development and support of the irrigation ditches that brought water to the once dry prairies of Sequim.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival has already taken place; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always held in the beginning of May. The Scenic Loop Drive is a driving tour through Sequim that takes you along Marine Drive, with its breathtaking view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the Dungeness Spit and Lighthouse and â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on a clear day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Victoria, British Columbia.

To get some exercise while exploring Sequim, go for a walking tour.

Walking maps are posted at five locations around town â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two at the public restrooms at Sequim Avenue and Washington Street; and one each at the Seal Street mini park, Washington and North Seal streets; Water Reuse Demonstration Site, North Blake Avenue and Fir Street; and Carrie Blake Park, North Blake and Cedar streets.

Framed by local artist Karin Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s verdant rendering of farmland, fish, elk, mountains and other natural features, the maps show walking routes that offer such an interesting array of scenes and scents youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll forget youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exercising!

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the 1.1-mile blue line along Cedar; the 2.6-mile gold route from East Washington through Carrie Blake Park and up across Fir Street.

And the 2.3-mile green line almost circumnavigates the city core, going out Sequim Avenue to Hendrickson Road and then back in along Fifth Avenue to Bell and Maple streets.

The beauty â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of them at least â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is that all Sequim walks are flat.

Carrie Blake Park on the east side of Sequim offers a picnic area with a playground for kids and a small stream and pond for feeding ducks. The park hosts outdoor concert series throughout the summer, and there is also a community center that is the site of other events.

bike RIDING

BIKING ADVENTURES

When it comes to biking, whether you’re a road biker or a mountain biker, you’ll find something to your liking on the North Olympic Peninsula.

In the Sequim-Dungeness area, the trails are as vast as the mountains that bear them.

For scenic mountain biking beauty, it’s hard to beat the hills flanking the Dungeness Valley. Starting in May, depending on the weather, the U.S. Forest Service roads and trails burst with wild rhododendrons in bloom.

The Slab Camp loop is a good example of this natural beauty. To get there, take Taylor Cutoff Road, just west of the Dungeness River, to Lost Mountain Road.

Then veer off onto U.S. Forest Service Road 2870 and follow it to Road 2875. You can loop back to Road 2870 by cutting over on Road 2878.

For a complete map of the area, stop at the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce in Sequim, located at 1192 E. Washington St. Burnt Hill Road and Johnson Creek Trail are fantastic trails for the bike enthusiast, while Miller Peninsula is also a great little trail.

For those with youngsters who want to get them interested in mountain biking, try taking them along Robin Hill Farm County Park, a nice little trail for beginners and for the family.

In Port Angeles, the Waterfront Trail is a popular route for bike rides. The mostly paved, relatively flat trail runs from the Coast Guard Station on Ediz Hook to the former Rayonier mill site east of City Pier.

For a shorter ride, you can pick up the trail part-way at Hollywood Beach, just in front of the Red Lion Hotel.

If you want to venture up Hurricane Ridge south of Port Angeles, try the Foothills Trail off Lake Dawn Road.

The Spruce Railroad Trail is a great trail for mountain bikes. The trail, which is the only one in Olympic National Park that allows bicyclists, travels along Lake Crescent as it follows an old World War I railbed.

14th annual Sequim

LAVENDER FESTIVAL Sequim has trademarked itself as the lavender capital of North America â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and with good reason.

055079571

The Sequim Lavender Growers Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Sequim Lavender Festival is one of the most-attended events on the North Olympic Peninsula and the largest lavender festival in North America.

It draws as many as 30,000 visitors from all 50 states and numerous foreign nations.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lavender Festival will be held July 16 to 18.

You can celebrate all things lavender with farm tours, a free street fair and more.

The six participating farms on the tour open their fields to visitors, each offering a unique experience and lavender-centered activities, including lavender picking, demonstrations, music and food, and acres of lavender fields with more than 150,000 plants.

Attend workshops, demonstrations and horticultural programs at each farm.

Learn about lavender, how it is grown, harvested and turned into dozens of different products using dried blossoms or steam-distilled lavender oil.

The festival holds daily â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meet the Farmersâ&#x20AC;? talks at each participating farm and partners with the Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Show with displays, demonstrations and hands-on activities.

Admission to the farms on the tour is $15, with no charge for children 12 and younger.

The Street Fair in downtown Sequim is Lavender Central for the festival, featuring more than 150 craftspeople and vendors of lavender, musical entertainment, food and wine tasting.

There is no admission charge for the Street Fair.

Free parking is available in Sequim and at each of the farms, and a free shuttle bus service connects the six farms with the festival.

For more information, including transportation, accommodations, directions and a detailed program, visit www.lavenderfestival.com or call toll-free 877-681-3035. For information about the Sequim Lavender Growers Association, visit www.lavendergrowers.org.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not in the area during the Lavender Festival weekend, many farms are open to the public throughout the lavender season (July-September) and some are open year-round.

berry farms

U-pick: Graysmarsh Farm in Sequim

What better way to enjoy the summer weather and get some delicious snacks than by going berry picking?

A handful of “U-Pick” berry farms on the North Olympic Peninsula offer you and your family the opportunity to pick and enjoy delicious berries, from strawberries in June and raspberries in July, to blueberries and blackberries in August.

Enjoy the tangy flavors and fragrant aromas as you search for delicious berries.

Throughout the summer months, you can find people digging through the rows of berry bushes, pushing leaves out of the way to find the ripe fruits hidden beneath.

If you don’t know where you begin, workers can help point you in the right direction.

Graysmarsh Farm, 6187 Woodcock Road, grows strawberries, raspberries, loganberries, blackberries and blueberries (and lavender) on a farm nestled between the Olympic Mountains and Strait of Juan de Fuca.

U-Pick is typically open from June through September, with strawberries ripening in June. U-Pick information is available by calling 360-683-5563.

To get there, drive three miles north on Sequim-Dungeness Way, then turn one mile east on Woodcock Road, or just follow the signs to Grasymarsh Farm.

Follow the sign for about three miles on Woodcock Road to Cameron Strawberry Farm, 899 W. Hendrickson Road, a popular site for fresh, juicy strawberries.

new dungeness lighthouse

At the end of the Dungeness Spit is the New Dungeness Lighthouse.

The light is automated, but lighthouse tours can be arranged. Volunteers operate the lighthouse daily.

The lighthouse is the oldest beacon north of the Columbia River — built in 1857 and opened about one week before the lighthouse on Tatoosh Island off Cape Flattery at the Olympic Peninsula’s northwestern tip.

The Coast Guard withdrew its last keeper from the light station in March 1994.

It planned to board up the building, but members of the New Dungeness Light Station Association offered its help.

You can stay for a week and be a lighthouse keeper. Phone 360-683-6638 or go to www.newdungenesslighthouse.com for information.

Access to the lighthouse is limited to hikers at low tide and small boats in calm seas.

Windy hike: A hiker at Dungeness Spit

DUNGENESS SPIT The Dungeness Spit has become a prime destination of many North Olympic Peninsula visitors. And it’s no wonder with the gorgeous views of Canada, Mount Baker and Protection Island on clear days.

The vast, sandy beach — inhabited by assorted waterfowl and critters — rarely seems crowded, even on hot days.

At about five miles long, the spit is the largest natural sand hook in the nation.

It was formed from sand and clay that eroded from the high bluffs to the west and were then deposited by tidal and wave action near the mouth of the Dungeness River.

The bay formed by the spit is as famous as its namesake, the Dungeness crab, which can be caught with crab pots or fishing poles.

Like many aspects of Mother Nature, the spit is often breached in harsh weather, but it then gently heals itself.

Dungeness Recreation Area

Much of the Dungeness Spit and part of Dungeness Bay formed by the sandy hook are in the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, a prime nesting ground for waterfowl. Because of this, the inside of the spit is off-limits to beach walkers.

A walk along the outside can still net many sightings to add to a birdwatcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life list, or just to enjoy.

Shorebirds include sanderlings and black-bellied plovers, while common seabirds are pigeon guillemots and marbled murrelets. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a good location for spotting resident bald eagles and the more elusive peregrine falcons.

The spit and other parts of the wildlife refuge are open only to foot traffic. There are trails for horseback riding.

Be prepared for quick changes in the weather and the water, usually for the worse.

Check the tides. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to hike any distance, plan your walk for an outgoing tide and the firm, wet sand that it leaves behind.

To get there, drive U.S. Highway 101 west from Sequim. Turn north on Kitchen-Dick Road. Continue three miles to Dungeness Recreation Area and drive through to the refuge parking lot.

Leave your pets, mountain bikes and plans for a campfire back on the bluff. They are prohibited. Horseback riding is by reservation only and you supply the horse.

Reservations are also required for boat landings at the lighthouse.

A single-visit $3 permit is required to help pay for conservation efforts and will allow the permit holder and family to enter the refuge. There is no charge for children younger than 16. Hours are daily from sunrise to sunset.

olympic DISCOVERY TRAIL

olympic DISCOVERY TRAIL The Olympic Discovery Trail offers residents and visitors to Clallam and Jefferson counties a safe, accessible and peaceful place to cycle, hike, jog or walk the dog — and in some places even to ride a horse.

It’s a wonderful work in progress. When completed in a few years, the Olympic Discovery Trail will run more than 100 miles across some of the North Olympic Peninsula’s finest scenery from Port Townsend in the east out west to the Pacific Coast.

The trail is a nonmotorized route, open to hikers and bicyclists and also equestrians on county-administered portions of the trail. It follows portions of the now defunct Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad right-of-way.

Currently, it can be enjoyed in pieces, with about 30 miles of the trail complete and another 30 miles under construction, including parts of the unpaved “Adventure Route” west of Port Angeles that connects with the Spruce Railroad Trail at Lake Crescent.

A recent piece of construction that makes up part of the trail is the double-deck Elwha River Bridge, where the trail runs underneath the roadbed on a 14-footwide pedestrian deck, keeping hikers, horses and cyclists away from traffic while offering spectacular views of one of the Peninsula’s most scenic rivers.

In Port Angeles, the Olympic Discovery Trail is hooked up with the Waterfront Trail, a popular running and bike-riding route that runs from the Coast

et up close with wild animals at Olympic Game Farm, 1423 Ward Road, Sequim.

The game farm houses about 30 species of animals, including timber wolves, Bengal and Siberian tigers, African lions and Tibetan yaks.

The bears are a big hit with visitors, as they will beg for food from just a short distance away.

A self-driving tour — which lasts about 45 minutes — lets you experience the wildlife at close range.

Feeding the animals wheat or whole grain bread is permitted, but watch your fingers.

A freshly baked loaf of bread can also be purchased for $2 at the main gate.

The farm was established more than 50 years ago by Lloyd and Catherine Beebe. After Walt and Roy Disney learned of Lloyd’s knack for communicating and handling the animals, Olympic Game Farm worked exclusively for Walt Disney Studios during the 1950s and ’60s.

The farm was originally a holding compound for the animal actors inbetween movie shoots, but in 1972, the Beebes opened Olympic Game Farm to the public.

In May, the farm began offering a new “mini tour” that provides visitors the additional experience of a guided tour through the historical studio barn and entry to the petting farm and freshwater aquarium.

Guests enter at their own risk, and visitors are asked to follow the rules at all times: Stay in your vehicle; keep doors, sunroofs and large windows closed; follow directional markers and stay on the roadway; drive slowly but steadily through the entire area; and avoid feeding buffalo near the gates.

For more information and admission rates, call Olympic Game Farm at 360-683-4295 or click on www.olygamefarm.com.

The resulting research determined the remains could be traced to that of a mastodon, which roamed the North Olympic Peninsula nearly 12,000 years ago.

Photographs of the excavation and a scale model of the site are also on display.

Upon request, a video explaining the mastodon discovery can be viewed.

A mastodon mural adorns the museum walls, and the bones, which make up about half the animal, are featured in a case.

Sequim’s cultural history and art museum also features a variety of neatly displayed exhibits of artifacts, antiques and historic discoveries of the region and memorabilia from pioneer days and Native American life.

Another exhibit shows off buttons and pins from the 115-year history of the Sequim Irrigation Festival. Smaller displays offer historic photographs and information about the region, including Jamestown, Dungeness and old downtown Sequim along with a display of historical tools used in the region.

The building housing the museum served as Sequim’s post office until the early 1970s, and the old mail boxes, with their brass fittings, are a prize display.

The Sequim Museum and Arts Center also features rotating exhibits by local artists and changing museum exhibits throughout the year.

The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is free, but donations are welcome. Visit www.sequimmuseum.org for information.

Dungeness Schoolhouse The Museum and Arts Center is managed by a board of trustees; the organization has more than 600 members supporting the mission of the nonprofit museum.

The organization also operates the historical Old Dungeness School, located five miles north of Sequim en route to the Dungeness Spit.

The picturesque white two-story building with a distinctive red-roofed bell tower and high ceilings is located at 2781 Towne Road, at the corner of Anderson and Towne roads. It has retained its stately manner through the decades thanks to the efforts of volunteers with a strong sense of history.

Built in 1893, the schoolhouse served as a place of learning for youngsters until the Sequim and Dungeness school districts were consolidated in 1955.

It was designated a Washington State Historical Site in 1973 and in 1988, it was listed on the National Register of Historical Places.

The facility, which can hold a maximum of 90 people, can even be rented for events of all kinds.

Each golf course on the North Olympic Peninsula offers something different, making a day of golf an easy decision.

Spring and summer are the best seasons to be on the greens in the Pacific Northwest, where long days often allow golfers to swing away well past 8 p.m.

In Sequim, the Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course is known for its crab-shaped sand trap.

The trap is found on the par-5 third hole of the 18-hole course. Phone 360-683-6344, ext. 1, for more information.

Port Townsend has two courses — Discovery Tee off: Cedars at Dungeness Bay Golf Club and Port Townsend Golf Club.

Discovery Bay is an 18-hole course reminiscent of the early days of golf with a classic clubhouse. The course’s back nine is cut out of forest and offers challenging tee shots. Phone 360-385-0704 for more information.

Port Townsend Golf Club is a nine-holer with open fairways, great for the beginner.

For more information, call 360-385-4547.

In Port Ludlow, head to Port Ludlow Golf Course, a 27-hole offering that takes you through the woods with views of Ludlow Bay and Hood Canal. Phone 360-437-0272 for more information.

Back in Sequim, SkyRidge Golf Course is a nine-hole offering that plays between 2,700 and 3,400 yards, and golfers can finish two rounds of nine with a bonus 10th hole that offers a different finish to each round.

Located 4 miles west of Sequim, the course was built from 2001 to 2002. For more information and a tee time, phone 360-683-FORE (3673).

Also in Sequim, SunLand Golf & Country Club is semiprivate and a favorite with the retirement community. Phone 360-683-6800 for details.

NORTH OLYMPIC PENINSULA Living on the North Olympic Peninsula gives you all the benefits of a small town, while still allowing you to be close to major cities such as Seattle and Victoria, British Columbia.

Within hours, you can be walking on a remote beach, kayaking on a flowing river, hiking in the mountains, or discovering a rain forest.

Many retirees consider the Peninsula an excellent place to retire, and many families consider it a great place to raise children.

But the Peninsula offers more than just a beautiful retreat. If you need to conduct business outside the area, Kenmore Air — which offers the only scheduled air service on the Peninsula — charter flights, bus and transit companies, and ferries can help you get to your destinations.

The region is home to excellent schools, with private and public schools and vocational schools, the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center in Port Angeles that teaches vocational training to young adults, and other schools, including the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding in Port Hadlock.

Through various distance programs, courses can also be taken locally for Western Washington University, Washington State University and Old Dominion University.

The Peninsula offers excellent health care centers, including Olympic Medical Center in Port Angeles and Sequim, Jefferson Healthcare Hospital in Port Townsend and Forks Community Hospital.

There are plenty of stores to find what you need and activities to keep you busy. Small speciality stores, major chain stores, a range of restaurants that offer a variety of flavors, wineries and breweries, farmers markets, fitness centers, senior centers, and children’s activities (see Page 105) abound.

Some facts of Interest: Although mortgage interest rates are currently still very attractive, there has been a slow, but steady rise in those rates as the economy “ever so slowly” improves.

When interest rates rise, the purchasing power of the home buyer declines.

For example: If interest rates rise by just one-half percent from the current rate, a buyer with a loan amount of $200,000 will lose approximately $11,000 in purchasing power.

If you are interested in becoming a home owner or you are currently a home owner and perhaps interested in listing your home to sell, please give me a call today.

sequim/DUNGENESS VALLEY Parks are meant to be enjoyed in person, a place to recreate and commune with nature.

RAILROAD BRIDGE PARK

At Railroad Bridge Park, the swift waters of the Dungeness River flow beneath a train trestle, paths explore the river banks, and the Dungeness River Audubon Center educates visitors on the wildlife and natural world around them.

The park, so named for the historic structure that supported 70 years of rail service until 1985, is a popular spot for dog walkers, joggers and birdwatchers. It is located about two miles west of central Sequim, accessible from Fifth Avenue North and Hendrickson, or from Carlsborg and Runnison roads.

The park is beautiful and easily accessible, with a link to the Olympic Discovery Trail and a short nature trail to glimpse the birds and other wildlife that frequent the river bank.

A wheelchair-accessible bridge leads across the Dungenessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; main channel and side channels into a paved path, which passes scenic meadow land and a few homes before linking with the Olympic Discovery Trail.

A loop nature trail winds toward the river bank northeast of the bridge. The park offers access to fishing, birding, horse paths and picnic sites.

dungeness river audubon center at railroad bridge park

The Peninsula is located in a prime migratory path for many birds. Because of the differing migratory patterns there is always a season for a different type of bird.

In the spring and summer, song birds are in higher numbers, while the summer has shorebirds and gulls migrating through.

Mid-fall, song and shore birds make their way into the area, and then in the winter you have water fowl.

What local birders have known for so long is that because of the location and the diversity of habitats, the North Olympic Peninsula is one of the best places in Washington to go birding.

Free, guided bird walks are conducted each Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. at the Dungeness River Audubon Center, located at 2151 West Hendrickson Road at Railroad Bridge Park. The two-hour walks leave from the Audubon Center and cover 1 1/2 miles on the Olympic Discovery Trail. Walks are held every Wednesday, rain or shine.

Each spring, the Olympic Peninsula BirdFest draws birders from across the region.

This year’s event has passed, but visit www.olympicbirdfest.org for information.

Some other excellent birding locations include: ■ Railroad Bridge Park — flickers, kinglets, finches, nuthatches, towhees and shrike, and the American dipper in the river.

■ John Wayne Marina and Sequim Bay State Park — a variety of shore and sea birds and winter waterfowl.

■ Gardiner Beach — varied diving ducks, loons and grebes, while an adjoining brackish pond has many waterfowl, including hooded mergansers.

■ Protection Island National Wildlife Refuge — a major rookery for Glaucouswinged gulls, black oyster-catches and cormorants. The Port Townsend Marine Science Center offers wildlife cruises in the spring and fall.

■ Port Angeles waterfront and Ediz Hook — large numbers of shorebirds, sea ducks, brants, gulls and raptors.

■ Northwest Coast — Dozens of bird species migrate along the coast, including trumpeter swans, falcons, sand cranes and bald eagles. Cape Flattery at the northwest tip provides habitat for birds, and sometimes you can spot eagles perched in the trees along state Highway 112.

The Dungeness River Audubon Center, 2151 West Hendrickson Road at Railroad Bridge Park, is a popular place to learn about the wildlife and natural world.

It has been encouraging birding activities and educating the public on birds since before it opened the doors to its current interpretive building in 2001.

The Audubon Center is a partnership of the center, Jamestown S’Klallam tribe, Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society and Audubon Washington.

It features exhibits, displays, programs on topics relevant to the river, wildlife and habitat and more. Events are held throughout the year, including summer nature camps and the Dungeness River Festival in September.

For more information, contact the center at 360-681-4076 or visit www. dungenessrivercenter.org.

Visit the Olympic Peninsula’s Newest Casino!

From sea to summit in Port Angeles Port Angeles is considered the “center of it all” on the North Olympic Peninsula, with its central location to surrounding towns and exciting opportunities. Whether you want to head into the mountains and Hurricane Ridge, catch the ferry to Canada or just relax and shop in town, here is a sampling of what Port Angeles has to offer.

Hurricane Ridge, rising 5,320 feet above sea level, is one of Olympic National Park’s most scenic areas, offering a panoramic view of both the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the alpine meadows and glacier-capped peaks of the Olympic Mountains.

The ridge is a family recreation area with picnicking and hiking in the summer. The Olympic National Park Visitor Center, south on Race Street/Mount Angeles Road, can provide you with park details. For more information about the park, turn to Page 68.

City Pier is a great place for fishing and squidding. It has an observation tower, promenade, picnic area and short-term moorage for small boats.

A beach stroll along the adjacent Hollywood Beach — or on the walk- and bike-friendly Waterfront Trail — might be the ticket to end your day. The beach is also a spot for kayaking and swimming and wading (with care) on those warm summer days.

The City Pier area also includes the Feiro Marine Life Center, a marine laboratory open to the public. The Feiro center features a mural of life in the early days of Port Angeles, depicting a Klallam village at nearby Ennis Creek and, a hundred years later, the men and women who settled there as part of the Puget Sound Co-operative Colony (1887-1904).

Clallam County Courthouse, at Fourth and Lincoln streets, was placed on the state register of historical sites in 1971 and the national register in 1988.

Built in 1914, the Georgian-style brick structure has such distinctive features as a stained glass skylight, marble steps and a clock tower.

A larger, solar-heated courthouse was built onto the rear of the old building in 1979.

Veterans Park, at Second and Lincoln streets, has a replica of the Liberty Bell and benches for resting and quiet time. The bell, purchased by the community to commemorate the U.S. Bicentennial, was forged in the same foundry in England where the original Liberty Bell was made. >>

EDIZ HOOK DELIGHTS

MOTEL

Ediz Hook, entered at the west end of town and “hooking” back easterly, is a naturally formed sand spit that juts into the Strait of Juan de Fuca to form Port Angeles’ deepwater harbor.

“The Hook,” as it is known locally, is an ideal spot from which to view the city and Olympic Mountains rising in the background. It’s a popular destination for bicyclists, runners, inline skaters, kite flyers and sea kayakers.

Join the thousands of local families and visitors who picnic there or pile stones on the rip rap to create small rock towers as a tribute to nature.

Access to Ediz Hook is via Marine Drive, which passes through the Nippon Paper Industries USA paper mill.

Near the end of the Hook there’s a large boat launch. It is just before the Puget Sound Pilots’ station and the entrance to the Coast Guard’s Port Angeles Group/Air Station.

Entrance to the base is restricted.

Ediz Hook offers six picnic sites with windbreaks and restrooms with access for the handicapped.

Discover the wonders of the Olympic Peninsula at the annual Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival, held Oct. 9 and 10 on the Port Angeles waterfront.

The festival is a celebration of the region’s diverse bounty — the seafood, agriculture, maritime history, cultural traditions and the breathtaking coastal environment.

The festival’s featured crustacean, the world famous Dungeness crab, was named after the nearby town of Dungeness. Admission is free.

It takes place downtown at the Port Angeles City Pier, Red Lion Hotel and Gateway Plaza, overlooking the beautiful Strait of Juan de Fuca.

More than 50 craft and merchant booths and additional food vendors fill the festival area. Families can participate in an assortment of events, including cooking demonstrations, children’s activities and the Grab-a-Crab Tank Derby — an unorthodox form of crabbing in large holding tanks using crab snares and bait.

Turning grains of sand into art Sand sculptors create masterpieces using sand, water and skill at Arts in Action.

Sand is a main attraction at the annual Arts in Action street fair and festival in Port Angeles. Slated this year for July 23-25, its centerpiece is the North American Masters Invitational sand sculpture contest, in which sand sculptors from around the world create works of art on Hollywood Beach, next to City Pier.

The Port Angeles event is the only North American master sand sculptor invitational competition and is considered one of the major competitions by sand sculptors.

This annual festival also features food, live music, car shows and about 50 arts and crafts vendors.

In the past couple of years, the art has expanded to also include sidewalk chalk art.

During the weekend, people can explore the street fair while watching the sand sculptors hard at work.

Visitors are encouraged to vote for their favorite sculpture by placing coins in metal boxes located at each sculpture.

Merchants in the adjacent downtown area conduct sidewalk sales as well.

While there is no alcohol at the event, upstairs at the Red Lion Hotel (just steps from Hollywood Beach), local wineries provide samples of their vintages at a wine show called the Art of Wine.

Arts in Action began as a quiet little festival in 1965. Today it has become a destination for tourists — and sand sculpture lovers — from across Washington and around the world. It is also a fundraiser for the scholarship program of Port Angeles’ Nor’wester Rotary Club.

Windy weather can provide the perfect conditions for flying a kite.

Valley Creek Estuary Park in Port Angeles, with its large, adjacent vacant lot, can receive some good kite-flying winds.

The park is located along Front Street, near Oak Street.

Other popular spots in Port Angeles include the waterfront and various city parks.

Over in Port Townsend, kite flers have been spotted at Point Hudson and Fort Worden State Park.

Coastal beaches are also prime spots for finding winds, especially First Beach, Second Beach and Rialto Beach.

Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, 1203 E. Lauridsen Blvd., devotes 1,300 square feet to visual arts exhibitions, offering a year-round schedule of painting, sculpture, photography and crafts by prominent artists.

Established by the late Esther B. Webster, the center is located in Webster’s home overlooking the city with panoramic views of mountains and water.

Revolving shows by contemporary Pacific Northwest artists are featured throughout the year.

Admission is free, although donations are welcome. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.

Pi à la Mode A popular attraction of the Fine Arts Center is “Art Outside,” an outdoor sculpture garden spread across the woods surrounding the arts building.

More than 100 imaginative works of art can be discovered in this “gallery without walls,” located on five acres of woods, hills, bogs and thickets.

“Art Outside” began as an experimental project in 2000, but has grown into a park called Webster’s Woods. It is open from dawn to dusk daily, year-round.

To get here from U.S. Highway 101 in Port Angeles, travel south on Race Street toward Hurricane Ridge. After about a mile, turn east (left) onto Lauridsen Boulevard.

Go about a quarter-mile. The center’s parking lot is on the left adjacent to the round concrete water tank. Follow the trail near the “thought balloons” to the center and into Webster’s Woods.

WEST TO JOYCE Enjoy a Casual Atmosphere with over 30 items under $10

Open 11:00 am Mon-Fri 4:00 pm Saturday 10:00 am Sunday

Just 16 miles west of Port Angeles is Joyce, a small town full of character.

The Joyce General Store on Highway 112 was built in the early 1900s and remains very much the same — false front, beaded ceilings, wooden floor. Much of the store’s interior is made of remnants from the opera house and Markum house, which stood in the town of Port Crescent in the 1800s.

Joyce Museum, housed in a former railroad station, is located next door. Built about 1915, it is considered to be the last remaining log depot from the Milwaukee Line. It houses memorabilia, photographers and artifacts from railroads and historical surrounding towns. Phone 360-928-3528 for information.

A popular local event is the Joyce Daze Wild Blackberry Festival, an annual one-day festival that takes place the first weekend of August. This year’s festival takes place Aug. 8 and always features homemade blackberry pies, a pancake breakfast, parade, arts and crafts vendors and more. For more information, visit www.joycewa.com/joycedaze.htm.

Be sure to visit the Elwha River dams this year because beginning in summer 2011, construction begins on their removal. The two dams — the 105-foot Elwha Dam that creates Lake Aldwell and the 201-foot Glines Canyon Dam that forms Lake Mills — were constructed in 1913 and 1927, respectively, without fish ladders, preventing salmon from migrating upstream to spawn. Their removal, a project estimated to cost about $350 million, will restore the river to its natural free-flowing state. DIRECTIONS: For the Elwha Dam, take state Highway 112 west from Port Angeles and turn left onto Lower Dam Road (by sign for RV Park). For the Glines Canyon Dam, take U.S. Highway 101 west from Port Angeles and turn left onto Olympic Hot Springs Road.

An underground history Walk through downtown Port Angeles and you are walking atop history. Literally.

Heritage Tours offers a guided walking tour through Port Angeles’ past. The tour takes you through historic downtown buildings — including an old brothel — past murals that tell stories, Heritage Weekend and into the “Port Angeles Underground.”

When the downtown street levels were raised above the tidal flats in 1914, the Port Angeles Underground, with its subterranean walkways and old storefronts, was created.

While the majority of the Underground has been filled in due to city repairs and water main projects over the years, one block of the Underground remains safe and accessible.

That spot is located on the west side of Laurel Street between Front and First streets and is the last stop of the tour.

Walking tours leave at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m at the Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center, 121 E. Railroad Ave. For reservations, rates and information, phone 360-452-2363, Ext. 0.

If you’re interested in learning more about Port Angeles’ history, visit during the annual Heritage Weekend, held in August. The weekend includes the historical walking tour and Underground, plus driving tours of historic homes with a visit to the Historical Society Museum, demonstrations, displays, food and more.

Learn about ocean life at two centers Two marine attractions in Port Angeles are within steps of each other — the Arthur D. Feiro Marine Life Center and the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary’s Olympic Discovery Center.

The Feiro Marine Life Center at the entrance to Port Angeles City Pier is a sea-creature friendly place. It offers a display of marine specimens, with a large touch tank for a closer examination of marine animals. For information, rates and hours, call 360-4176254, or click on www.feiromarinelifecenter.org.

Begin a journey to the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary by first stopping by the Olympic Coast Discovery Center, located upstairs in The Landing mall — the multicolored building immediately west of City Pier. The center offers an interactive opportunity to examine the intricacies of the marine sanctuary off the Peninsula’s Pacific Coast, which extends from Cape Flattery at the northwest tip of the Olympic Peninsula to central Grays Harbor County.

For information and hours, go to olympiccoast.noaa.gov or call 360-457-6622.

salt creek recreation area

Salt Creek Recreation Area is a 196acre county park located 15 miles west of Port Angeles off state Highway 112.

The site was once the location of Camp Hayden, a World War II harbor defense military base.

Two concrete bunkers that housed 16-inch cannons and some smaller bunkers preserve its military history.

The park features panoramic views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Crescent Bay and Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

The adjacent Tongue Point Marine Life Sanctuary includes a rocky outcropping that at low tide reveals starfish, sea urchins, limpets, sea cucumbers and many other forms of marine life.

The park also provides hiking trail access to Department of Natural Resources trails to the Striped Peak Recreation Area.

DIRECTIONS: Take Highway 112 west from Port Angeles. After about 9 miles, turn right (north) onto Camp Hayden Road (near Milepost 54). Travel approximately 3 miles. The park entrance will be on your right.

Winery loop

SMALL WINERIES WITH BIG TASTE

Working girls: Olympic Cellars Winery, located off U.S. Highway 101 in between Sequim and Port Angeles, is owned and operated by three female entrepreneurs.

The North Olympic Peninsula is dotted with a handful of wineries making names for themselves.

Most of the local wineries are small, producing less than 2,000 cases a year, and they are definitely hands-on operations.

Tasting rooms are open at these wineries, which process their wines mainly from grapes from the Columbia River Valley, Oregon and California, although one — Black Diamond Winery — has begun growing its own cool-climate grapes.

Visit all of them by doing a winery-loop tour, or stop by just one or two for a quick glass. Plaques from various wine competitions testify to the success the wineries have had with their vintages.

In addition to the traditional wines, some produce fruit wines like strawberry, rhubarb, plum and apricot.

To coincide with the Sequim Lavender Festival, six of the artisan wineries will offer a Lavender Celebration Tour of Wineries July 10 through 18.

More information on the tour is available at www.olympicpeninsulawineries.org.

OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK

O

Olympic National Park — a World Heritage Park designated for its rare qualities — can be visited on foot or by car. More than 600 miles of trails weave throughout the park, from short, easy loop trails to rigorous, primitive hikes along high passes or rugged ocean beaches.

For most of the arduous trips inside the park, you’ll need a topographic map, which you can buy at visitor centers and ranger stations, or by mail order through the Northwest Interpretive Association at 360-565-3195.

For those who prefer to see some of this nearly one-million-acre park by car, there are 168 miles of roads that provide access to various points, although 99 of the roads are gravel. All park roads are “spur roads” off U.S. Highway 101. No roads traverse the Olympic wilderness.

The wilderness in all its rugged beauty is nevertheless a fragile environment. To help protect animal and plant life, waterways and each person’s wilderness experience, the National Park Service creates and enforces regulations.

Often referred to as “three parks in one,” OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK encompasses three distinctly different ecosystems — rugged

Mountains

Coast

Rising from the water's edge

Where land meets sea

The Olympic Mountains are not very high — Mount Olympus, the highest, is just under 8,000 feet — but they rise almost from the water’s edge and intercept moisture-rich air masses that move in from the Pacific.

As this air is forced over the mountains, it cools and releases moisture in the form of rain or snow.

At lower elevations, rain nurtures the forests, while at higher elevations snow adds to glacial masses that relentlessly carve the landscape.

The mountains wring precipitation out of the air so effectively that areas on the northeast corner of the Peninsula experience a rain shadow and get very little rain.

These mountains have arisen from the sea.

For eons, wind and rain washed sediments from the land into the ocean.

Powerful forces fractured, folded and overturned rock formations, which help explain the jumbled appearance of the Olympics. Radiating out from the center of the dome, streams — and later a series of glaciers — carved peaks and valleys, creating the beautiful, craggy landscape we know today.

Ice Age glacial sheets from the north carved out the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Hood Canal, isolating the Olympics from nearby land masses.

Surrounded on three sides by water and still crowned by alpine glaciers, the Olympics retain the distinctive character that developed from their isolation.

More than 60 miles of Pacific Ocean coastline form a vital component of Olympic National Park.

This coastline has remained little changed except for the impact of the pounding surf and storms.

It looks much as it did when Native Americans built their first villages thousands of years before Europeans arrived.

Today the Hoh, Jamestown S’Klallam, Lower Elwha Klallam, Makah, Port Gamble S’Klallam, Skokomish, Quileute and Quinault continue to live along the Peninsula’s shores where their ancestors arrived so long ago.

The coast is where the land meets the sea, vibrating with life and energy — arches and sea stacks; the roar of crashing waves; the calls of gulls, bald eagles and black oystercatchers; dramatic sunsets and the vastness of the ocean.

At low tide you can walk toward the surf, stopping at tidepools along the way.

If you squat down and spend some time just looking, you will be amazed at what you see as your eyes start ferreting out objects that look like rocks, but which in fact are small sea animals.

Slowly extending your horizon, you may see some raccoons feeding on shellfish that are reachable now that the tide is out and the danger of the surf is withdrawn.

You are likely to find the footprints of shore birds all over the beach, but you will also find those of bear, deer, raccoons, river otters and a host of other creatures. >>

tips while in the park

The Olympic coast is a wild place, a place for endless exploration.

RESPECT WILDLIFE Don’t feed or approach wildlife; doing so can change natural behavior patterns and make animals dependent on people’s handouts, increasing their chances of disease or winter mortality.

It also causes problems for the next person who uses your campsite.

DON’T BRING PETS Pets are not allowed in the wilderness areas of the park.

CAMPFIRES Fires are permitted in designated fire rings at each campsite in the park’s established campgrounds.

In the park wilderness, campfires are allowed below 3,500 feet; at higher elevations, only stoves are permitted.

Along the coast, gather firewood only from driftwood found on the beach.

Use only previously established fire rings, keep your fires small, at least 10 feet from beach logs and below the high tide line. Remove any evidence of the fire before you leave.

CELL PHONES For backcountry visitors seeking the solitude and challenge of the wilderness, cell phones can detract from the value of the experience.

Carrying a cell phone is never a substitute for route-finding and safety skills. Use cell phones only for serious emergencies. Remember coverage is patchy in many interior and coastal park areas. Should you have to make a call, you may be able to reach a cell site by climbing to a ridgetop. Since it’s difficult to pinpoint a wilderness location to rescuers, provide your number for a callback and don’t move if a return call is expected. Sometimes just a foot or two makes a difference in getting through to a cell phone in a remote area.

Much of Olympic National Park is surrounded by Olympic National Forest, a 633,677 acre forest that reaches into four counties — Clallam, Jefferson, Grays Harbor and Mason.

An amazing 64,800 acres of the forest is roadless. More information on the forest is available at www.fs.fed.us or by calling 360-956-2402 SPRING | SUMMER 2010 ✣ NEWCOMERS’ AND VISITORS’ GUIDE

There are four basic types of forests on the Olympic Peninsula: temperate rain forest, lowland, montane and subalpine.

Temperate rain forest is found at low elevations along the Pacific Ocean coast and in the western-facing valleys of the Peninsula where lots of rain, moderate temperatures and summer fogs exist.

The lowland forest grows farther inland from the coast and above the rain forest valleys. The lowland forest gives way to the montane forest.

As elevation increases, temperatures cool and more moisture falls as snow; growing seasons get shorter and the subalpine zone takes over.

The lower portion of the subalpine zone consists of continuous forest, but in the upper part of this zone the forest thins out.

Delightful alpine meadows graced with wildflowers and glacial lakes often intermingle with stands of firs.

Increasing elevation causes even more severe climatic conditions.

Trees become fewer, shorter and more misshapen. When tree line is reached, beyond which trees do not grow, a profusion of wildflowers often rewards your eyes in a vivid display that is an effective foil to the scenery below, now visible because the trees no longer block the view.

Glaciers Striking geological sights Glacial ice is one of the foremost scenic and scientific values of Olympic National Park. There are about 266 glaciers crowning the Olympics peaks.

The prominent glaciers are those on Mount Olympus covering 10 square miles.

Beyond the Olympic complex are the glaciers of Mount Carrie, the Bailey Range, Mount Christie and Mount Anderson.

In the company of these glaciers are perpetual snowbanks that have the superficial appearance of glacial ice. The climate influencing Olympic glaciers is wet and temperate.

This is clearly shown in the Mount Olympus complex of glaciers which receive the full impact of Pacific storms. The average annual precipitation is about 200 inches, most of the moisture coming in the form of snow.

The movement of glacial ice past and present has produced striking geological features in the Olympic Mountains.

The lake basins, U-shaped valleys and jagged peaks are the products of massive glacial erosion that occurred many thousands of years ago when the year around climate was much colder.

Access to the Olympic glaciers is by trails and cross-country routes. The most visited glaciers in the park are the Blue and Anderson. From the Hoh Rain Forest, the upriver hiking trail leads 18 miles up to the snout of Blue Glacier.

Anderson Glacier can be reached by hiking the Dosewallips River Trail for 11 miles or from the west side by the East Fork of the Quinault River for 16 miles.

To visit the other glaciers requires more mountaineering knowledge and time.

IF YOU GO: Travel on glacial ice is a specialized skill of mountaineering requiring the basic use of climbing rope, ice ax, crampons and good judgment by the individual climber when accompanied by experienced leaders.

The presence of snow-bridged crevasses on glaciers is a very great hazard to climbers, and no one should attempt glacier travel alone. Self-evacuation from a deep, steepwalled crevasse is nearly impossible.

The temperate rain forest in the valleys of the Quinault, Queets and Hoh rivers are protected and contain some of the most spectacular examples of the Sitka spruce community.

This ecosystem stretches along the coast from Oregon to Alaska; other temperate rain forests are found in several isolated areas throughout the world.

Precipitation ranges from 140 to 167 inches — 12 to 14 feet — every year.

The mountains to the east also protect the coastal areas from severe weather extremes.

Seldom does the temperature drop below freezing in the rain forest, and summertime highs rarely exceed 80 degrees.

Nearly every bit of space is taken up with a living plant.

Some plants even live on others. These are the epiphytes, plants that do not come into contact with the earth, but also are not parasites.

They are partly responsible for giving the rain forest its “junkly” appearance.

Mosses, lichens and ferns cover just about everything else.

A temperate rain forest is more than a collection of trees, mosses and other plants.

Lounging: Beach-goers sit along the waterline on the northeast shore of Lake Crescent.

a

massive landslide isolated Lake Crescent from Lake Sutherland approximately 7,000 years ago.

There are two uniquely adapted fish populations, the Crescenti and Beardslee trout, that resulted from genetic isolation following this event.

Lake Crescent has several hiking trails, some of which climb the surrounding mountains, and others that explore the lowland forests and creeks.

The hike to Marymere Falls by way of the Barnes Creek trail is a favorite, as is the Spruce Railroad trail that runs along the north shore.

More information about hiking is available at the ranger station.

The turnoff from U.S. Highway 101 to Olympic National Park’s Storm King Ranger Station at Lake Crescent leads to several picnic tables nestled in trees and makeshift sites along the shoreline.

The area contains restrooms and access to potable water, a ranger station, a boat launch and trails.

On the south shore of Lake Crescent, sheltered under giant fir trees, is the campus of the Olympic Park Institute, a center for all ages where learning and wilderness exploration intermingle.

The campus is about two-tenths of a mile north of U.S. Highway 101, between Lake Crescent Lodge and the National Park Service’s Storm King Ranger Station.

Participants in institute seminars may do varied activities such as birdwatching; a day aboard a tall ship; backpacking to view sea otters; probing nature with telescopes and microscopes; writing, drawing, photography or basket weaving.

Some programs are designed for those 55 or older, others are for families or just for youth.

The institute is a good place to start on The Moments in Time Trail, a wheelchairaccessible, with assistance, loop around Barnes Point.

Signs along the way explain geographical features and the area’s early history.

No planning is needed to use the selfguided trail tour, but other institute activities require advance registration.

places to stay

Many people enjoy going out onto the water during the summer and fall.

Boat launches are located at both east and west ends of the lake.

Rowboats are available for rental from Lake Crescent Lodge.

Whether it’s kayaking, sailing or simply relaxing on the beaches and shores, Lake Crescent is a great place to visit.

For last-minute items, a stop at Shadow Mountain General Store, located along Highway 101 at Lake Sutherland, can meet most needs.

On the west end of Lake Crescent, the Fairholme campground has 87 campsites, one of which is wheelchair accessible.

For those who prefer a less primitive stay, Lake Crescent Lodge or the Log Cabin Resort (both park concessions) may be a better choice.

Lake Crescent Lodge is located at Barnes Point on Lake Crescent Road, just off Highway 101.

Visit lakecrescentlodge.com for more information, or phone 360-928-3211.

The Log Cabin Resort is located on East Beach Road, north of Highway 101. Visit www.logcabinresort.net for more information, or phone 360-928-3325.

Both are generally open from late spring until early fall.

Anyone searching for a little adventure — from beach and waterfront walks to backpacking in the high country — can find it in Olympic National Park.

Some hikes in this vast land are more difficult than others, so always be prepared.

Take the family, but remember that dogs are not allowed on park trails.

National park entrance fees are $15 per carload for seven days or $30 for an annual pass.

The following are just a sampling of the many hikes found in this region of the world.

El Puerto de Angeles

Photo op: There are unlimited hiking and photo opportunities inside Olympic National Park.

Elwha River Trail: Drive west of Port Angeles on Highway 101 to Elwha River Road, follow it south to Olympic National Park’s Elwha entrance. Turn left up the narrow, single-lane Whiskey Bend Road just past the Elwha Ranger Station to the trailhead.

On the trail up the Elwha River to the Lillian River, 4.7 miles one-way, you are all but guaranteed to see deer along the way. Bear and elk are also commonly sighted on this trail.

Alternatives to hiking to the Lillian River include climbing down to the tumbling Elwha River at Rica Canyon, dropping to historic Humes Ranch at Michael’s Cabin or hiking to the bridge across the Elwha on the Long Ridge Trail, a one-way distance of 3.1 miles.

Spruce Railroad Trail: Drive west of Port Angeles on Highway 101, across the Elwha River to the west end of Lake Crescent. Turn right at Fairholme Campground Road and drive past the campground on North Shore Road to its end at the trailhead.

This is a family hike along a trail which dates back to 1918 when the Army built a railroad track to make airplane frames for World War I. Although millions of dollars were spent, the railway wasn’t completed until 19 days after the war ended.

The rails were later sold, but the trail is there for hikers to enjoy as it meanders around the north shore of Lake Crescent.

1007 S Oak St. Port Angeles

360-457-6903

055077266

Lake Mills Trail: Drive west of Port Angeles on Highway 101 to Elwha River Road, follow it south to Olympic National Park’s Elwha entrance. Stay on the paved road and cross the river at Altair.

Park at the dam or in the parking area at the trailhead on the west side of the dam.

On this 4-mile, round-trip trail along the western bank of Lake Mills, you might see elk and deer, watch a water ouzel search the lake for food, see herons or eagles.

The trail wanders through forests of alder and fir, never climbing too steeply, above the lake shore. Several spots along the shore, where campers sometimes paddle by canoe, are good locations for a picnic.

discover scenic majesty at

HURRICANE RIDGE

In clear weather, Hurricane Ridge serves up awe-inspiring, panoramic views of the park, especially during sunrise and sunset. During the spring, wildflowers cover the ground of the subalpine meadows, and blacktail deer are often spotted grazing.

No matter the season, ridge-goers are found snapping photos, hoping to take a little piece of the this magnificent place home.

Hurricane Ridge is the most easily accessed mountain area within Olympic National Park. It is located 17 miles south of Port Angeles off Mount Angeles Road, the southern extension of Race Street, which intersects U.S. Highway 101 in Port Angeles. Simply follow Race Street out of town and follow signs leading to the ridge.

The road is open throughout summer, and is scheduled to be open Friday through Sunday during the winter months, weather permitting.

The Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center is a great place to start your visit at the ridge. Located just before the road ends, stop there for brochures, maps, snacks and tips regarding your stay.

It is open daily in the summer and whenever Hurricane Ridge Road is open during the remainder of the year.

Call the park’s recorded information line at 360-565-3131 for daily updates on road conditions.

Hurricane Ridge has a number of hiking trails, from ridgetop traverses to steep trails that descend to subalpine lakes and valleys.

Obstruction Point Road (weather and snow permitting, open from July 4 through Oct. 15), branches off right before the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center, and provides access to a variety of trails as well.

OVERNIGHT ADVENTURES Camping in Olympic National Park The summer season draws the sun out of the clouds and campers from their homes.

Although Olympic National Park boasts more than 1,000 campsites, the most popular places are bound to fill up quickly.

Rangers suggest getting to your camping destination early, particularly on the holiday weekends.

It is a first come/first served basis at all established campsites except Kalaloch.

To find out if a campground is full, phone the park at 360-565-3130.

For a complete list of sites and fees, check the free map and brochure available at entrance stations and visitor centers.

The majority of the campsites in the park charge $10-$12 per night.

The two most popular, Kalaloch and Sol Duc, charge $14, and Kalaloch charges $18 during the summer.

Campfire restrictions are in effect for many areas, so please check first.

Practice minimum-impact camping. Pack out your own trash and leave the site as if you were never there.

Proper food storage is a must wherever you camp. In forest country campgrounds, keep all food and other scented items in bear-resistant containers. Hanging food with rope has proven ineffective in securing food. Never store food or other scented items in your tent or backpack and do dispose of food waste in the wilderness.

Complete regulations, recommendations and information for safe camping in the area are available for free at the Olympic National Park Visitors Center, the Wilderness Information Center and entrance stations.

If the popular campgrounds are filled, check the lesser-known sites offered by the Forest Service and the Department of Natural Resources.

olympic national PARK enjoying wildlife Olympic National Park and its surroundings are home to a wide variety of wildlife.

Just offshore, whales, dolphins, sea lions, seals and sea otters feed in the Pacific Ocean.

Invertebrates of countless shapes, sizes, colors and textures inhabit the tide pools.

On land, some species, like raccoons, beaver and mink, live mostly in the lowlands.

But others, like deer, elk, cougars and bears, range from valleys to mountain meadows.

A mountain goat grazes on meadow grass near an overlook north of the parking lot at Hurricane Ridge.

The goat, one of up to 300 living in the park, made a rare appearance within easy sight of the parking area.

The animals normally range in high, craggy ridges deep in the park, but this goat, wearing a radio collar, has occasionally frequented Hurricane Ridge.

Olympic National Park stretches from ice-covered mountain peaks to rocky coast, and between those extremes lie countless places for animals to live.

Being a national park and a designated wilderness adds protection to help keep varied habitats relatively undisturbed.

MORNINGS and evenings are best for wildlife watching.

Lucky visitors can

spot an ARRAY of wildlife inside

the park.

Park waters are home to some of the healthiest runs of Pacific salmon outside of Alaska.

More than 300 species of birds live in the area at least part of the year, from tiny penguin-like rhinoceros auklets offshore to golden eagles soaring over the peaks.

Mornings and evenings are often best for wildlife watching. Sitting quietly and listening will usually reveal more animal activity.

Be sure to drive slowly and watch for animals crossing park roads. Use pullouts for safety.

You can help the wildlife of the park survive by keeping your distance, not feeding or enticing any wildlife, and ensuring all food and smelly items are stored safely.

TO THE BOATS The North Olympic Peninsula is well known as a paddler’s paradise. Surrounded by water on three sides, there is no shortage of water opportunities. Various rivers, lakes and an often dramatic coastline lure regional paddlers to the area. rafting The most popular river for rafting is the Elwha.

The seven-mile stretch between the Elwha and Glines Canyon dams is a perfect blend of spectacular scenery, fun-filled rapids and serene pools.

With fairly mild yet exciting Class II+ whitewater, the Elwha is perfect for both first-timers and experienced paddlers.

Dave King, owner of Olympic Raft & Kayak, operates rafting trips through Labor Day, but he admits that whitewaters are less dramatic in August and early September than they are in the earlier summer months.

Olympic Raft & Kayak has been operating guided rafting trips on the Elwha for more than 20 years and it boasts a perfect safety record.

“Rafting is not without risks but with over 25,000 satisfied customers, it’s clear that we stress safety and know what we are doing,” King says.

Another popular river for rafting is the Hoh, which is a little more mild than the Elwha.

With spectacular scenery and mild whitewater, this trip is geared more toward the nature lover looking for a less thrilling float.

kayaking

Deep blue: Light wind and smooth, sparkling waters make for prime kayaking conditions.

Kayaking is another popular and fast growing local sport.

Kayaks on cars are a common scene every weekend as people flock the area to take advantage of the world-class paddling opportunities. Kayakers can travel alone or double up with someone else, and there are specialty kayak shops all over the Peninsula for buying or renting.

As the owner of the oldest and largest full service kayak dealership on the Peninsula, King has seen sea kayaking grow from a few paddlers to a mainstream sport over the past decade.

“Fifteen years ago there wasn’t anybody locally offering sea kayak tours, classes or full service sales,” King says.

“Now we offer everything for the novice to expert paddler.”

One of the more popular kayaking spots is Freshwater Bay, just west of Port Angeles. The rugged coastline and abundance of wildlife makes it a world-class paddling adventure.

“Over the years we’ve had many write-ups in regional newspapers and national magazines about paddling Freshwater Bay,” King says.

“It’s rare to find a place that is so beautiful, novice-friendly and easily accessible.”

Common sightings while paddling the coastline include seals, otters, porpoises, bald eagles and a wide array of intertidal life like starfish and anemones.

Lake Aldwell is a reservoir formed by the Elwha Dam on the Elwha River and a popular spot to kayak.

“I remember a time when you may see a couple of kayakers a month on this lake. Now it’s almost every day throughout the year,” King says.

Sea kayaking is an easy sport to start and is a great way to enjoy local waterways and get some exercise.

If you are new to the sport, King recommends that you start with some instruction to understand good paddling techniques as well as safety.

Marrowstone Island, which juts into Admiralty Inlet just east of Port Townsend, offers several beach sites suitable for launching kayaks.

Other good kayaking waters on the North Olympic Peninsula include Lake Crescent, the Port Townsend coastline, Indian Island, Sequim Bay and Discovery Bay.

SEAFRONT TOWNS True nature lovers visiting the Olympic Peninsula will want to include a trip to the North/West coast in their itinerary.

The coastal area includes Clallam Bay and Sekiu, twin seafront towns about 50 miles west of Port Angeles, and Neah Bay, the home of the Makah tribe.

To get there, drive west from Port Angeles on state Highway 112, the Juan de Fuca National Scenic Highway. The drive offers fabulous views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and you can stop for a picnic at Pillar Point or on the beach along the way.

Clallam Bay and Sekiu (pronounced SEEK-you) are the fishing headquarters for the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Here you can find charters for fishing — hali-

but, salmon, lingcod and rockfish are good catches — plus diving, whale watching, birdwatching and general sightseeing.

The beach area between the two towns is a good place to beachcomb, hunt agates and explore tidepools.

From Clallam Bay to Neah Bay, there are year-round sightings of seabirds and maritime animals.

Dozens of bird species migrate along the coast, including trumpeter swans, falcons, sand cranes and bald eagles.

Watch also for whales, such as gray, humpback, pilot and orca, which pass the coast on their semiannual Pacific migrations and sometimes in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. >>

In Neah Bay, be sure to visit the Makah Cultural and Research Center, a museum on the left as you enter town.

The focus of the museum is the Ozette collection, the largest archaeological collection of any U.S. tribe. The artifacts come from a 500-year-old Makah village located eight miles south of the Makah Reservation.

World-class fishing: Catch a charter boat at Olson's Resort in Sekiu.

Makah Days When: The 87th annual Makah Days will be Aug. 27 to Aug. 29.

Where: The celebration is held on the Neah Bay waterfront and includes a street fair, grand parade, canoe races and traditional Makah dancing. The event is expected to draw between 15,000 and 20,000 people.

How much: There is no admission, however, a $10 recreational use permit is required if you are planning other activities such as hiking, camping, fishing or visiting Cape Flattery or Shi Shi.

The site was preserved by a mudslide and uncovered in 1970.

Other items on display include artifacts from an archaeological dig at the Hoko River, west of Sekiu.

The dig revealed a fishing camp nearly 3,000 years old and a rock shelter about 1,000 years old.

Because of the North/West Coast’s location beneath the Pacific flyway, birdwatchers find great opportunities to observe more than 250 different species that visit the Neah Bay area.

Keep a watchful eye out for bald eagles, especially the rare albino that is occasionally seen between Clallam Bay and Neah Bay. In the early spring, an immense gathering of hawks waits at Cape Flattery for good flying conditions to cross the Strait of Juan de Fuca and continue the journey north.

Wherever you go, be sure to obey any signs warning about areas that are open to tribal members only. And in order to keep this untamed part of the country as wild as it is, the rule of the Makah should prevail: “Leave only footprints; take only photographs.”

T

he Makah Nation at Neah Bay will be the final stop of the 2010 Tribal Paddle Journey.

The annual Native American cultural event is essentially a marine caravan tracing the ancestral trading routes of tribes from Western Washington and British Columbia using traditional hand-carved canoes.

Along the way, pullers ask for permission from other tribes to come ashore. They typically spend one night at a given tribal area and continue the journey with more canoes and more pullers.

The travelers thank their hosts and ask permission before leaving shore.

The event began in 1989 as the Paddle to Seattle and became an annual event in 1993.

It has grown to include more tribes every year, involving coastal tribes from Washington and British Columbia.

This year, it will culminate with all the canoes landing in Neah Bay, where the Makah tribe will host the end-ofjourney events beginning July 19, with additional events continuing for a few days.

Fisherman's playground Whether you bait fish or fly cast, enjoy a gentle mountain stream or dropping deep in saltwater, the North Olympic Peninsula is for you.

Plus, there are clams to be dug, crabs to be trapped and oysters to be picked.

Olympic National Park is an endless source of streams and lakes that are perfect for the trout hound.

The Strait of Juan de Fuca separates the United States and Canada and is famous for its salmon and halibut.

Beaches on the Pacific Coast and Hood Canal house a bounty of shellfish.

When you visit the Peninsula, pick up a copy of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife fishing regulations for information on specific waterways and beaches.

Current regulations are usually available at most tackle shops, sporting goods stores or wherever licenses are sold.

You can also find the latest regulations and rules by calling the WDFW at 360-9022500 or online at http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regs_seasons.html.

There are separate rules for fishing inside Olympic National Park. They are available at any park entry station and the park’s visitor centers.

Olympic National Park — You don’t need a fishing license to fish inside the park, but must follow a separate set of rules and regulations.

Punch cards for salmon and steelhead are still required.

Also, many streams and most lakes will only be accessible past a park entry station.

Weekly and annual access passes are available, allowing all occupants of a single vehicle into the park.

Reaching many lakes inside the park requires a hike, but can be well worth the effort.

Estimates from the National Park Service say trout live in more than 50 lakes inside Olympic National Park.

Catch and release — Catch-and-release fishing is encouraged statewide as a way to expand angling opportunities and reduce the impact on valuable resources.

Catch and release is permitted wherever fishing is, so long as a daily limit is not already possessed.

Marine waters — Fishing is closed in marine waters unless specifically noted in the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations.

Specific seasons in the Strait of Juan de Fuca — classified as Marine Areas 5 and 6 — are announced in late spring. For salmon seasons, see the WDFW regulations.

Charter boats throughout the North Olympic Peninsula send trips out for both salmon and halibut.

There are also boat docks available for those with their own tow. >>

Big fish: Smiling from ear to ear, this fisherwoman shows off her catch near Olson’s Resort in Sekiu. The 40-pound lingcod, shown in the left photo, was caught just south of Tatoosh Island.

insider tips Licensing: Be sure to pick up a copy of the State of Washington Sport Fishing Rules, available where licenses are sold.

It details fishing boundaries and regulations as well as licensing information.

Always check the regulations before you go fishing.

Fees: The most economic way to fish is to purchase a combination license.

The cost is $46.20 for residents and $89.40 for nonresidents, with discounted prices for youth, seniors and the disabled.

Licenses specific to saltwater, freshwater and shellfish and seaweed can also be purchased. Fishing licenses can be purchased at most sporting goods stores.

Boaters’ alert: A warning to private boaters with Washington fishing licenses only: Make sure you stay on the U.S. side of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Those wanting to try the Canadian half must first obtain a license from British Columbia.

>> fishing continued from page 95

Lake Crescent — Located within Olympic National Park’s boundaries, this crescent-moon-shaped lake is famous for its one-of-a-kind trout.

They are called Beardslee, and are a subspecies of rainbow trout commonly believed to be landlocked steelhead.

Lake Crescent is now entirely a catch and release lake.

Rivers and streams — The Quillayute System contains some of the best steelhead and salmon rivers in Washington.

The Sol Duc, Calawah, Bogachiel, Dickey and Quillayute make up the fiveriver system.

The Hoh, Elwha and Dungeness rivers are also home to steelhead and salmon.

The trick to fishing all rivers on the Peninsula is hitting them at the right time.

Before fishing any stream, check the WDFW regulations.

Clamming — Razor clamming has been adversely affected by Nuclear Infusion-X

levels in recent years. NIX is a natural marine toxin harmless to shellfish but potentially deadly to humans.

However, in recent months, the WDFW has opened beaches along the south coast of the Peninsula to harvesting.

Other species of shellfish, including a variety of hardshell clams, are currently considered unsafe and should not be harvested from any beach on the Washington coast.

Anyone wanting the latest information on which shellfish are and are not safe, and dates and locations on seasons, should call the state Department of Health’s marine toxin hot line at 800562-5632, or log onto the WDFW’s Web site at www.wa.gov/wdfw.

Crab and shrimp — Crab harvesting is best in Dungeness Bay and Hood Canal.

Crab traps may be used only during certain months and days of the week.

For seasons and other restrictions, check WDFW fishing regulations.

Catch-record cards for Dungeness crabs are required and available wherever licenses are sold.

Shrimp seasons and regulations were announced in April. See WDFW regulations.

The Hood Canal shrimp season in May is world-famous. There is also a shrimp district in Discovery Bay that reopened this May for the first time in five years.

Other tips and licensing — Before fishing anywhere, freshwater or saltwater, anglers must purchase a license.

The lowdown on hunting Hunters on the North Olympic Peninsula don’t have to wait for the leaves to start turning yellow to hit the trail in search of wild game.

From August through September, Olympic National Forest and state Department of Natural Resources lands get hundreds of hunters tracking forest grouse, rabbit, cougar and black bear.

The early archery seasons for blacktail deer and elk are in late September.

The majestic Roosevelt elk can be found in areas around Clallam Bay, Neah Bay and Forks.

‘No shoot’ zones There is a herd of about 80 elk in the Sequim area, but hunting of that herd has decreased significantly as housing developments and commercial development have

put trophy elk into “no shoot” zones.

But the elk are increasingly gobbling up expensive crops and homeowners’ lawns and ornamental plants.

State Fish and Wildlife and Native American tribal officials are studying how to move the elk out of the Sequim area — or possibly build a fence along the south side of U.S. Highway 101 between the Dungeness River and Blyn to keep them from migrating into Sequim’s business and residential areas.

Early muzzleloader season for deer typically starts in late September, and the beginning of October for elk.

Modern firearm seasons for deer begin in October.

There is also a late season in November.

Modern firearm seasons for elk tend to occur in early November. A late muzzleloader season for both elk and deer occurs in late November and early December.

Forest grouse season usually opens in the beginning of September and lasts all the way through December.

Black bear season typically begins in August and lasts into November. Cougar season lasts from August through March.

Farm-raised pheasants are planted in the Dungeness Recreation Area, located west of the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, near Sequim, in October and November.

Opening day often has more than 100 pheasant hunters and their dogs.

Before you go hunting, pick up a copy of the state’s Big Game Hunting Seasons and Rules pamphlet, which lays out hunting boundaries, restrictions and licensing information. The booklet also details rules on small game such as rabbit.

You can find specifics on forest grouse seasons in the Migratory Waterfowl and Upland Game Seasons rules pamphlet.

Washington law requires first-time hunters born after Jan. 1, 1972, to successfully complete a hunter education class before they can purchase a hunting license.

Hunting licenses can be purchased online at the state Department of Fish and Wildlife Web site, which is fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov, or at sporting goods stores.

Big game hunting licenses cost up to $79.20 for state residents and $792 for nonresidents.

Small game licenses cost as much as $36 for residents and $180 for non-residents.

Multiple season tags for elk or deer cost residents $180 and non-residents $1,800.

west END The West End, which is centered along U.S. Highway 101, twists through some of the area’s most natural, pristine beauty.

From the coasts and the rain forests to Native American history and pioneer legend, it’s one-stop shopping for adventure.

The drive to get there is beautiful in its own right, but the going can be a bit slower than most Peninsula trips.

The main route, U.S. Highway 101, twists and turns around Lake Crescent, and you may compete with recreational vehicles and log trucks — but the appreciation for natural beauty, pristine even outside of Olympic National Park boundaries, makes it worthwhile.

Here are some West End highlights:

Hoh Rain Forest

East of U.S. 101, this rain forest — which is the result of the West End getting 100-plus inches of rain each year — is one of the best examples of a temperate rain forest in the world.

But unlike Chile and New Zealand, the flora and fauna aren’t tropical.

Instead, the wilderness is temperate and primeval, with ferns growing the size of large shrubs and trees as tall as skyscrapers blocking out the sun.

Even if you stay in your car, the green giants of the Hoh Rain Forest are visible.

These trees can grow as tall as 300 feet with a circumference of 23 feet around.

Just a hint: One of the biggest trees is right next to a small parking lot.

Ocean beaches Another glory of the West End, most beaches are within Olympic National Park.

One of the most accessible is Rialto Beach, about 15 miles west of Forks.

Also close to Forks are Third and Second beaches near LaPush; both involve hikes.>> photo by John Marshall/Washington State Tourism Green giants: The Hoh Rain Forest's Hall of Mosses inside Olympic National Park.

Warning: Watch out for the tides While exploring the coast, keep your eye on powerful surf.

Olympic Peninsula’s northern and Pacific coasts offer a wealth of beaches for recreational fun, but if you plan to explore a tidal pool, dig for clams, hike the shoreline or just reflect on the beach, keep an eye on the tides and surf.

Rescues by the Coast Guard, Olympic National Park rangers, or both, are occasionally necessary for people who either failed or didn’t know to consult a tide table and weather report before heading out.

Headlands extending out to the water’s

edge can create alcoves and grottos that may be readily accessible by thin strips of beach exposed during low tides.

Unfortunately, when the tide turns, the incoming waters can trap visitors who must frantically scramble to reach high ground.

Some hikers have been stranded on jutting, rocky outcroppings to wait hours for rescue, and some have died.

Tide books are available at many shops catering to tourist or saltwater fishermen.

Peninsula Daily News publishes a tide table daily on its weather page for various areas around the North Olympic Peninsula.

Just go to www.peninsuladailynews.com and search for “tides.”

The tide table also helps determine the best times to fish.

Grab your shovel and bucket during extremely low or minus tide and go clam-

ming on the exposed beaches or crabbing in the shallow waters.

But beware of “killer logs,” as the locals call them.

Particularly on the Pacific coast, the tall conifers that make the North Olympic Peninsula so beautiful can be a hazard when washed up by the surf as logs and driftwood on the beaches.

As you clamber over these beached logs, it’s hard to believe you can’t always see them coming, but as a wave crests, it can obscure your view of what is riding behind it.

Always keep an eye on the waves, whether you’re in the water or walking along the shore.

And remember that the logs so easily tossed ashore are still loose. Many a beachcomber has fallen and incurred injury when logs shift on the beach.

From Grays Harbor to Neah Bay, more than 600 rocks, reefs and islands dot the rugged Olympic Peninsula coastline.

Three wildlife refuges totaling 430 acres are within the boundaries of Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and Olympic National Park.

Hundreds of seabirds and other marine animals can be observed from numerous vantage points along the way, particularly near Kalaloch and LaPush.

During migration seasons, more than one million birds gather in the area.

The Flattery Rocks National Wildlife Refuge runs from Cape Flattery to the Ozette area. Quillayute Needles National Wildlife Refuge extends from that southern boundary to about Kalaloch.

The last of the three is Copalis National Wildlife Refuge, from south of Queets to just north of Grays Harbor.

All of the islands and other features are closed to the public to protect the habitat. But visitors can still observe crowds of seabirds, either from land or sea.

Binoculars and cameras are good accessories to have on hand.

Most of the islands are small enough that they have never earned names on a map.

But Destruction Island and Point Grenville are among some of the more well-known locations. Refuge staff warn that boaters should stay at least 200 yards off the islands, both for their own safety and to avoid disturbing the flighty creatures who live there.

The refuge areas are the primary breeding grounds for the tufted puffin, with its striped head and peculiar beak and the common murre, which resembles a little penguin.

The region, where 80 percent of the state’s seabird population nests, supports 12 types of marine birds. In addition, peregrine falcons and bald eagles reside with their cousins.

Several types of seals, sea lions and otters also stop by the local kelp beds.

President Theodore Roosevelt established what would become the refuge complex by executive order in 1907.

The public pushed for the action because seabirds were being exploited for their eggs and feathers.

Wild, wondrous coast Kalaloch beaches offer travelers a ‘good place to land.’

A camera is important to carry along on a visit to the Kalaloch beaches.

This area of Washington’s wild, wondrous coast — about 35 miles south of Forks along U.S. Highway 101 — has attractions for visitors in all four seasons.

Ruby Beach is the northernmost tip of the seven main spots in the Kalaloch area.

From there, marked trails 1 through 4 offer access to pristine, sandy beaches.

Right in the area of the lodge and campground are several unnamed paths that also allow close contact with the sand and waves.

In the absence of fog, sunsets spread a spectacular light over the sea, setting up the potential for a photographer’s paradise.

Through spring, visitors also can enjoy the crash and bang of rough-water storms.

But visitors should take note of the tides

and be careful when walking the beach to avoid incoming logs that wash up in the tide. Some are very large and have been known to strike and kill people.

Tidal updates are posted at each of the trailheads.

Migrating shorebirds and sea mammals such as otters can be observed, especially with binoculars.

And at low tide, be sure to seek out the tidepools for a glimpse at all the marine life.

According to Place Names of Washington, Kalaloch (pronounced KLAY-lock) is the Quinault tribe’s term for “good place to land.”

The book describes the beach as the only safe landing spot for canoes between the Hoh and Queets rivers.

WATERFALLS For visitors needing a quiet refuge, the Peninsula’s falls offer the perfect opportunity to get away from it all.

One of the most popular sights is Marymere Falls — only 35 minutes from Port Angeles — inside Olympic National Park.

This 1.8-mile round-trip trail leads day-hikers through some of the park’s most pristine environment, weaving through old-growth forest, flowering plants and mushrooms (in season).

To reach the falls, take U.S. Highway 101 west from Port Angeles to the Storm King Ranger Station on Lake Crescent.

The trailhead begins as a paved walkway that runs alongside of the ranger station, a re-creation of the original station built in the early 1900s.

For about the first three-quarters of a mile of the trail, wheelchairs may be used with assistance.

The final trek to the falls is a steep uphill climb, with the choice of two lookouts, one about 50 feet above the falls, the other at its base.

Other falls worth seeing: Madison Creek Falls: Follow U.S. Highway 101 to Olympic Hot Springs Road near the Elwha River bridge, turn south, and follow the road about three miles to the park entrance station. This is the park’s most accessible waterfall — only about 150 yards from the parking area over a fully-paved, wheelchairready trail. Picnic tables available.

Sol Duc Falls: Take U.S. Highway 101 west from Port Angeles for 30 miles, or 26 miles east from Forks.

Turn southeast on the Sol Duc Hot Springs road and follow it 12 miles to the trailhead parking lot. Trailguide maps are available at the trailhead. There is a wide gravel trail and a railed viewing area at this falls.

More than 20 cascades are shown at www.olympicpeninsulawaterfalltrail. com. Go there to see photos, plus get driving directions and information on the best viewing times.

Victoria BRITISH COLUMBIA

Just beyond the pond, another country awaits Taking the ferry across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Port Angeles may not exactly rank as an overseas journey, but travelers definitely are in another country when they set foot in Victoria.

You can make the approximately 20mile trip to Victoria for a one-day trek, a weekend fling or a long-term visit, using the quaint city with the British atmosphere as the starting point for an extended tour of Vancouver Island.

The ferries from Port Angeles land in downtown Victoria — a city with an estimated metropolitan population of more than 300,000 — after a scenic cruise across the Strait of Juan de Fuca and through Victoria Harbour.

The Fairmont Empress Hotel dominates the waterfront as ferry passengers arrive at Victoria’s Inner Harbour from Port Angeles.

Harbor tours give visitors a different perspective of the distinctly British city.

Victoria is an excellent city for sightseeing by foot.

First-time visitors might want to start 106

at the Greater Victoria Visitor Information Center, on the waterfront across from the imposing Empress Hotel, just a short walk from the ferry terminal.

The center has maps, brochures, information on accommodations and lots of friendly advice.

You won’t want to miss the Royal British Columbia Museum, located within walking distance of the ferry landings.

The museum has special exhibits, but its mainstay is the unparalleled First Nations area.

The National Geographic Theater at the museum presents an IMAX experience with a six-story-high screen showing several movies that provide worldwide adventures.

Visitors will find plenty of shops along Government Street.

The real ‘‘main street,’’ however, is Douglas Street, and everything from major department stores to out-of-the-way specialty shops can be found on side streets off Douglas between Courtney and Pembroke.

NEWCOMERS’ AND VISITORS’ GUIDE ✣ SPRING | SUMMER 2010

Food-fanciers should note that some of the finest bakeries in the world are found on Fort Street between Douglas and Blanshard.

Elsewhere, gourmet restaurants are dotted throughout the downtown area, featuring everything from escargot to fish and chips.

And authentic British and Irish pubs are a great way to take a break from shopping and walking.

Old-fashioned London double-decker buses leave on tours from in front of the Empress Hotel for such attractions as the world-famous Butchart Gardens.

Or, if you’re looking for a more romantic kind of transport, there are horse-drawn carriages available.

Victoria offers several first-run movie theaters, a number of drama companies, a symphony orchestra, an opera company, dance companies, night spots featuring famous entertainers and concert tour appearances by major rock bands and jazz performers in a modern indoor arena.

SPRING | SUMMER 2010 ✣ NEWCOMERS’ AND VISITORS’ GUIDE

victoria, B.C.

BUTCHART GARDENS What started as a sweet pea and a single rose in 1904, has blossomed into The Butchart Gardens, a 55-acre cascade of color that overwhelms the senses.

Well more than 1,000 varieties of flowers can be smelled, touched and ogled during a walk through the gardens, but allow yourself plenty of time — one visit can take several hours.

The former cement factory and quarry site at Tod Inlet can be reached by ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria, then 12 miles north by city bus or car.

The gardens keep with the Victorian tradition of seasonally changing the outstanding floral displays.

Find out more by phoning 866-6524422 or visiting www.butchartgardens.com.
