Welcome! A few ideas that come to mind right away:

North: Port Townsend - cute, breweries, waterfront, historical attractions. Could take the ferry over to Coupeville on Whidbey Island and tour the fort that is right near the ferry dock. There are also lot of hiking opportunities on the way to PT in Olympic National Forest, but I would double check weather conditions first.

East - Bremerton for waterfront, breweries and historical attractions. Manchester State Park in Port Orchard might also check some boxes for you. If you go the long way through Union, you could do brunch at Alderbrook and feel fancy.

West - Ocean Shores or surrounding towns. You could also do a loop of the Olympic Peninsula and stop where it looks interesting. Would be a fairly full day though.

South - Olympia for breweries, or make it a whole day and go down to Mt St Helens and back. I like the Olympic Club in Centralia for a pit stop and it checks the historical attractions and breweries boxes.

Can also recommend the new Irish pub in Shelton. Went a couple weeks ago and it was excellent!
