I agree, just answering the question. Take the ferry over to Bainbridge and drive north.

Get a cabin at Sol Duc Hot Springs (Google it). Beautiful area with unlimited hiking opportunities. If you also go to the Hoh rainforest you’ll go through Forks. Don’t go to Forks just to see Forks and don’t go to the ocean there (La Push). I like Pt. Townsend, nice historic touristy downtown on the water, and historic Fort Worden. Worth a day trip in my opinion if you’re into that. You’ll be flying into Seattle, whether they have hoppers to Port Angeles I don’t know. Olympic Peninsula resident, for what it’s worth.
