Now doing the Pacific Coast Highway

Heading south from Anacortes, Washington.

Deception Pass Bridge connect Whidbey and Fidalgo Islands. Built in 1934.

I went past the Naval Airstation at Ault Field.

Oak Harbor is the largest city on Whidbey Island. The windmill reminds me of Holland, Michigan where many Dutch also settled.

Walking path in Ebeys Landing National Historical Reserve.

Rosario Beach

I took the Keystone Ferry across to Port Townsend.

Coming into Port Townsend.

Looking out from Glen Cove.

Near Gardiner.

Part of the Olympic Discovery Trail.

The Olympic Discovery Trail is a multi-use trail from Port Townsend to La Push.  It using trails like this and some roads.  90 miles like the one above and the over 45 miles uses roads.

Near Blyn

What a nice view by Bell Hill. I guess others are finding this a great place to build a home.

I am not in Sweden any more. C.J. Erickson named the town after his home town.

Port Angeles has 20,000 people and harbor. The Olympic National Park is close by.

The area that I have been traveling is all connected to the Pacific Ocean.  In 1791 this area was explored by the Spanish and they set up trading with the indigenous people. That contact helps to understand some of the names of towns and islands.
