So I’m planning a 3 day trip around the Olympic peninsula. Planning to go up to hurricane ridge, down to forks and visiting the Hoh rainforest, and then going as far south as Grand Mound before going back north. Any suggestions for sights to see on the way?

Nisqually Animal Refuge is pretty awesome and easy to get to.

If you can manage the time to get a little farther south, try to get at least to Ruby Beach or other coastal areas.

My husband and I stayed in Sequim and loved it. The lavender fields were really a nice surprise.

I don’t know that there’s a reason to go to Grand Mound. You can just go out through McCleary to Olympia and then north.

Are they open now? I keep trying to find something official saying they’re open but all I’ve seen is google saying they’re still temporarily closed

Check out the Tree of Life on the coast. Who knows how much longer it'll be propped up.
