6 | FALL/WINTER 2007-08 | FEATURES | NORTH OLYMPIC PENINSULA NEWCOMERS’ AND VISITORS’ GUIDE Outdoor adventures enchant in nature’s playground Mountains and beaches, art walks and trails biggest draws in Peninsula

The North Olympic Peninsula draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year—and for good reason. The mountains and beaches are perhaps the biggest draw for outdoor adventure, but festivals and community events tin the friendly towns and cities rate just as high for most people. Take, for example, monthly art walks and a festival celebrating the Victorian era. The variety of things to do and see — from peaceful Hood Canal to the wild Pacifi c Ocean — is seemingly endless. Here is a sampling of what a visit to the beautiful Olym- pic Peninsula could be. East Jefferson County Sunrise Perched on the northeastern tip of the Olympic Penin- sula, Point Wilson at Fort Worden State Park, near Port Townsend, is the perfect place to catch the sunrise as the fi rst rays hit the ground. Bring your camera, because the summer sun rises around the shoulder of Mount Baker across the Strait of Juan de Fuca in the Cascade range, turning the snow, sky and water into a glowing palette of spectacular colors. Nearby Fort Worden State Park has several types of overnight accommodations, from hostels to campgrounds or historical offi cers’ quarters. Swimming Despite its miles of saltwater beaches, scores of freshwater lakes and hundreds of miles of rivers, the North Olym- pic Peninsula isn’t known as a great outdoor swimming location. That’s because the water is cold: a year-round 50 degrees or so in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and bays, and not much warmer in the large rivers during the summer. SEE NEXT PAGE>>>>

NORTH OLYMPIC PENINSULA NEWCOMERS’ AND VISITORS’ GUIDE | INTRODUCTION | FALL/WINTER 2007-08 7 <<<< FROM PREVIOUS PAGE And bathing on the Paciﬁ c side of Jefferson County is dangerous because of deadly riptides. There is, however, a great place to enjoy the waters of Jefferson County without shivering. Quilcene Bay, on the Hood Canal, is known for producing some of the North- west’s most delicious oysters. But when you’re searching for oysters in the win- tertime, be careful and make sure you keep your eyes on the tides, the weather and most importantly the rules and regulations. As the weather begins to warm up at the end of April and May, the bay sometimes is warm enough for swimmers. If you’re lucky, a curious harbor seal might even join you. A public beach is located at the end of Linger Longer Road, just past Quilcene off U.S. Highway 101. Sailing Port Townsend sits on the tip of the Quimper Peninsula, surrounded by the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north and Admiralty Inlet to Puget Sound to the east. This makes for the perfect location from which to begin or end a sailing adventure around the area. There are numerous harbors around Port Townsend Bay and Admiralty In- let, including Hudson Point Marina and Port Townsend Boat Haven, both in Port Townsend. Some of the best attractions in this seaport town during the winter is the Victorian Festival and the Rhododend- run Festival. Also, you really cannot beat the shopping in this old Victorian-esque town. Sea kayaking Surrounded by water on three sides, there is no shortage of opportunities to dip a paddle in salt water off the North Olympic Peninsula. Marrowstone Island, which juts into Admiralty Inlet just east of Port Townsend, offers several beach sites suitable for launching kayaks. Oak Bay County Park at the south- east end of Marrowstone Island features an accessible beach and a campground with spectacular views east across Puget Sound to the Cascades. The park is just east of Port Hadlock off Oak Bay Road. Antiquing What better place to look for antiques than in the quintessential Victorian town of Port Townsend? At the turn of the 20th century, Port Townsend was a bustling seaport, and many elegant buildings lined the waterfront. Port Townsend’s past is kept alive by today’s downtown shopkeepers who have faithfully restored the grand old buildings. Sequim and the Dungeness Valley Birthwatching The ﬁ ve-mile sandy hook called the Dungeness Spit reaches out into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, providing the perfect place for birds and birders to gather. The Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge is a prime nesting site 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 birdwatch- er’s life list, or just to enjoy. Shorebirds include sanderlings and black-bellied plovers, while common seabirds are pigeon guillemots and marbled murrelets. It’s also a good location for spotting resident bald eagles and the more elusive peregrine falcons. SEE NEXT PAGE>>>>

When the weather is gloomy, there still will be greenery. One of the best ways to enjoy the win- tertime in Port Angeles is by way of taking a walk — but dress warmly. There are myriad trails in Port Ange- les, including the Waterfront Trail, which is part of the larger Discovery Trail, and there’s always views at Port Angeles City Pier and elsewhere in the city that’s “The Center of It All.” Skiing, snowboarding For the powder hound in all of us, there is Hurricane Ridge, resting high only 17 miles away from downtown Port Angeles. But, bear in mind, the roads might not always be agreeable.

Olympic National Park — a World Heritage Park designated for its rare qualities — can be ex- plored on snowshoes, cross-country skis or by car. While more than 600 miles of trails weave throughout the park, the scene is slightly different during the winter. Don’t be surprised if the roads are closed. In winter, the roads can be treachurous, often difﬁ - cult to drive. Sometimes, the roads are not even plowed. But for the adventure seekers, and with studded tires, taking a jaunt Ointo the woods can be a hauntingly beautiful experience.

NORTH OLYMPIC PENINSULA NEWCOMERS’ AND VISITORS’ GUIDE | OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK | FALL/WINTER 2007-08 15 port townsend/jefferson county | Where dreams come true

Welcome to Jefferson County, where Port Townsend, Quilcene, Brinnon, Port Ludlow and the “Tri-Area” of Chi- macum, Port Hadlock and Irondale offer small-town friend- liness, a taste of history and a surprisingly striking variety of activities. Tourists here can ﬁ nd lighthouses and farmhouses, at- Wtend a town festival and dig for clams all in the same day. Port Townsend For visitors who enjoy delving into history, Port Townsend is the ideal place to visit. Just driving through the residential areas of town seems like a step back in time. The city is full of Victorian houses that have been restored, and the look is the result of an organized effort by city residents. The “City of Dreams,” as Port Townsend is known, was The waterfront in Port Townsend can be the ﬁ rst in Washington state to establish the Main Street a magical place in the fall and winter. program, encouraging preservation of historical districts, renovation and restoration of buildings.

16 | FALL/WINTER 2007-08 | PORT TOWNSEND/JEFFERSON COUNTY | NORTH OLYMPIC PENINSULA NEWCOMERS’ AND VISITORS’ GUIDE <<<< FROM PREVIOUS PAGE There is so much history preserved here that Port Townsend is one of a few cities nationwide that are on the Na- tional Register of Historic Places. The city and Fort Worden are also national landmarks. Many of the historic homes have been rede- signed as bed-and-breakfast establishments. With more than a dozen B&Bs in former Victorian homes and buildings, Port Townsend could almost be called the bed-and-breakfast capital of the Pacific Northwest. For an overview of the historic sites, take the self-guided driving tour — just follow the seagulls painted on the street. If you drive a large motor home or pull a trailer, this tour may not be suitable because some of the streets are narrow, steep and require sharp turns. With its original buildings now restored for use as park, conference and entertainment facilities, Fort Worden State Park offers an insight into the New military history of the area during the first half of the 20th century. From... Downtown, visitors may feel as though the main thoroughfare, Water Street, came out of an old-fashioned western movie. But art galleries, chic clothing bou- tiques and fine china shops make the window shopper feel like this is Seattle, not Port Townsend. Be sure to check out the seaside restaurants and cafes, where you can relax and watch kayakers paddling by or sail- boats catching the breeze. On a clear day you can even see Mount Baker. Marrowstone Island Another state park, Fort Flagler, is at the tip of nearby Marrowstone Island. It also offers beach access and picnic grounds, hiking trails and camping. Tri-Area An excellent view of Naval Magazine Indian Island can be found in Port Had- lock. The island holds a Navy ammuni- tion station with a tall crane that’s one of the county’s tallest structures. To the west, Chimacum is known chiefly for its dairy farms, spreading 9:30 AM - 6:00 PM Fridays 9:30 AM - 8:00 PM 6A278417 across Chimacum Valley. SEE NEXT PAGE >>>>

A GEM ALONG THE HOOD CANAL

Discovering the Emerald Towns of Quilcene and Brinnon is like finding a gem. These quiet towns offer visitors a place to relax and experience life the way it should be lived.

Well known for its clams and oysters, this Hood Canal region also offers seasonal crabbing, shrimping and fishing opportunities. For those who would rather let others do the hunting and gathering, there are many seafood retailers and restaurants. Nearby are pristine scuba diving opportunities. There are five public or private boat launch ramps from Quilcene to Triton Cove, south of Brinnon, and three marinas. 7A290804 OPEN EVERY DAY!

Protected from U.S. Highway 101 traffi c by a bypass, Sequim is a friendly town that offers access to the Dungeness Valley. If this is your fi rst visit to Sequim (pronounced “Skwim”), stop by the Chamber of pCommerce 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 Car- rie Blake Park, Pioneer Park with its colorful fl ower gardens and foliage, and the old Clallam Co-op Granary. Downtown, you’ll fi nd specialty gift shops, art and antique dealers and small-town cafes. Efforts are under way to make the downtown areas even more pedestrian — and bicycle-friendly.

Sunny Sequim sits in a Enjoying rain shadow that makes the the area a splendid spot blue hole for rest and relaxation

Sequim — sometimes referred to as the “blue hole” — sits in the rain shadow of the North Olympic Peninsula and gets only about 17 inches of rain each year. The weather is one of many things that make Sequim a favorite retirement spot. To get a feel for the history of the area, visit the Museum and Arts Center, 175 W. Cedar St. Here you’ll fi nd memorabilia from pioneer days and Native American life, along with mastodon fossils from 12,000 years ago. When you’re ready for a driving tour, head north on Sequim-Dungeness Way. Here are some of the sights you’ll fi nd along the way: ■ Cline Spit, off Marine Drive in the New Dungeness area, was the fi rst 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 are 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 fi rst house of sawed lumber built in the county. The house is not open to the public. ■ Old Dungeness Schoolhouse, west of the river at Dungeness, was a public school from 1895 to 1955. SEE NEXT PAGE>>>>

lightkeeper’s job might not be the best thing for everybody. A The duty of a keeper is physical, includes tours of the light tower at 74 steps, polishing the light and mowing the lawn. But for those who want to bask in the beauty of Dungeness Spit, visit with tourists and enjoy the serenity of the area, come out and stay for a week. The lighthouse celebrated its 150th anni- versary in 2007. Members of the Henry Blake, a U.S. Coast Guard cutter, pulled up to Port Angeles’ City Pier to participate. The U.S. Coast Guard withdrew its last keeper from the light station in March of 1994. It planned to board up the building and survey the equipment, but members of the New Dungeness Light Station Association, a group organized in early 1994 as a way to protect and preserve the station, offered their help, said Bette Lefﬂ e, board member of the New Dungeness Light Station Association. The association works with the Coast Guard, which maintains the lantern and fog- horn, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Access to the light station is limited to hikers at low tide and small boats in calm seas.

he annual celebration that became the Sequim Irrigation Festival started out Tas a May Day observance. But it was irrigation — namely, the opening of the fi rst ditch channeling water from the Dungeness River — that brought the community together more than 112 years ago. It still does, and the Irrigation Festival should be no different. Months of hard work preceded the May 1, 1896, inauguration of the system that would bring water to the Sequim-Dunge- ness Valley, which back then was a dry prairie. People started arriving at Callen’s Cor- ner (now the roundabout at Port Williams Road and Sequim-Dungeness Way) early in the morning, traveling hilly, crooked roads in covered wagons, on horseback and on foot. The Sequim Irrigation Festival attracts thousands They brought a lot of food — the custom of visitors and includes three parades, car shows, at the time, according to an account from motorcycle shows, logging demonstrations and the Sequim Bicentennial History Book a carnival. Committee, was to bring at least twice as much as was needed to feed your family. Races and ball games followed dinner, along with “much visiting among the families who saw each other seldom in those days of diffi cult transportation.” The irrigation system grew signifi cant- ly in subsequent years, and the festival named after it has expanded as well. “Originally, it was celebrated by the farmers and the people who created the ditches,” said 2006 festival chairman Joe Borden. “[Now] we get fl oats and bands from other communities. Lots of people come from out of town. There’s usually several out-of-town bands.” There’s also a festival pageant, three parades, a car show, a motorcycle show, a logging demonstration, an arts and crafts show and a carnival.

NORTH OLYMPIC PENINSULA NEWCOMERS’ AND VISITORS’ GUIDE | PORT ANGELES | FALL/WINTER 2007-08 67 port angeles | History underground Walking tour takes guests above and below downtown Port Angeles

tanding in a sunny upstairs bedroom where peeling, 1920s-era aqua wall- Spaper has witnessed better days, Don Perry likes to speculate on what took place there decades earlier. “God, if these walls could only talk,” he says. The bedroom is part of a once-ﬂ ourish- ing brothel above what is now Family Shoe Store, 130 W. Front St., a building that dates back to the late 1800s. The old brothel still contains several co- vert peek slots in the walls to monitor the clientele, plus a trap-door in the ceiling to store multiple cases of illegal booze. It is one of numerous stops on a two- hour walking tour that delves above and below historic downtown Port Angeles. Perry’s company, Heritage Tours, conducts guided tours at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The tours are a partnership with the Chamber of Commerce and provide a comi- cal and detailed look at Port Angeles history.

A FEW HANDY TIPS FOR WINE TASTING

KEEP A SUPPLY of your “house wines” on hand for impromptu gatherings. When you discover wines you particularly like, stock a Vintage few extra bottles to open whenever friends drop in. advantages Your guests may get to taste something new and you won’t a have to rush out to shop. Small wineries in the Peninsula make name for themselves You don’t need a wine cellar to store bottles you’ll be drinking within the next year or so. Just keep them in a cool place away from direct sunlight such as the kitchen pantry or hall closet. Have fun with favorite wine fl avors — Chardonnay, White Zin- fandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. These wine varietals are crowd- pleasers, so experiment with ones from a region or winery that is new to you. Quick wine calculation: A standard 750 ml bottle of wine has fi ve glasses. To estimate how much wine you’ll need, plan on two glasses of wine per person for most occasions. Need to chill a bottle of white wine to serve in a hurry? Immerse it in a 50/50 combination of ice and water. It will be ready to sip in about 20 minutes instead of the hour or so it takes to chill wine in the refrigerator.

he turnoff from U.S. Highway 101 to Olympic National Park’s Storm TKing Ranger Station at Lake Crescent leads to several picnic tables neslted 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. One of the most attractive aspects of the picnic area is the wide array of recreational opportunities that await after the picnic is over. Some nearby trails include the Mo- ments in Time Nature Trail, Marymere Falls Trail and Storm King Trail. More information about hiking is available at the ranger station. For last-minute items, a stop at Shadow Mountain General Store, located along Highway 101 at Lake Sutherland, can meet almost every need. The nearby Lake Crescent Lodge closes for the season Oct. 15 and photo by BRENDA HANRAHAN won’t reopen until early May 2008.

If your idea of a perfect winter vacation is mountain peaks and family fun in the snow, the North Olympic Peninsula is deﬁ nitely the iplace to be. Port Angeles is the gateway to Hurricane Ridge, a towering 5,242-foot winter playground with breathtaking views of the interior face of the Olympic Mountains. Fun at the top After entering the park at Heart O’ The Hills, about 5 miles south of the visitor center (the $15 seven-day entrance fee or $30 annual park pass are required), you begin your ascent to the mile-high beauty of Hurricane Ridge. At playat the ridge

Drive carefully and heed speed limits: The road can be icy, especially where snowmelt has frozen across the winding road. At the top, next to the downhill ski area and at the starting point for all the area’s cross country trails is the Hurricane Ridge Visitors Center. You can view the majestic Olympic Moun- tains from the center’s upper levels and take the interpretive exhibits of the National Park Service. It offers majestic scenery, great food service, a gift shop and a ski shop with snowshoe, alpine and cross-country ski rentals. Although the locals call the Ridge’s visitor center “the lodge,” there are no overnight accommodations on Hurricane Ridge.

urricane Ridge Ski and Snowboard Area is located in the Olympic Na- Htional Park, 17 miles south of Port Angeles, Washington. It is one of only two lift operations in the national parks. Rising a mile high, Hurricane Ridge offers winter recreation and activities and features winter vistas unmatched anywhere in the Paciﬁ c Northwest. It is a small, family-oriented ski area, offering to residents and visitors alike a quality winter sports experience, without the high cost and congestion of most ski areas. The ridge boasts some groomed areas, but for the accomplished skier or snowboarder the steeps, bowls and glades are well worth the effort it takes to hike there. With a summit elevation of 5,240 feet, the average annual snowfall is 400-plus inches.

or many visitors to Hurricane Ridge, the panorama of Olympic peaks and Ffrosted trees invites a slow pace of exploration and enjoyment. One of the best ways to achieve that pace is on snowshoes. Olympic National Park rangers offer one-mile loop hikes on snowshoes — about 90 minutes — through the trees and around the Ridge, where the views include the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Vancouver Island. These walks are scheduled 2 p.m. Fri- days, Saturdays and Sundays from about the third week of December through the end of March — when Hurricane Ridge Road is open. Walks may also be offered on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Presidents Day. Those new to snowshoeing need not be hesitant about these treks. At the ridge, the National Park Service offers small aluminum-framed Sherpa shoes with metal grips on the bottom. SEE NEXT PAGE>>>> 7A305640

<<<< FROM PREVIOUS PAGE The hardest part is putting them on so they stay on for the entire hike. And while walking in them may be somewhat duck-like, snowshoes offer maneu- verability and easier hiking, making them family-friendly. In fact, Hurricane Ridge keeps snowshoes small enough to accommodate tots as young as three. A $5 per person donation helps cover the costs of snowshoe repairs and replacement. You can also rent snowshoes either at the ski shop on the lower level of the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center or outside the park, or bring your own. The naturalist talk is also very kid-friendly, as rangers discuss the difﬁ culties faced by ﬂ ora and fauna at such high elevations. You’ll also get to see tracks of park animals, including weasels and snowshoe hares, named for its wide, snowshoe-like paws. Space on walks is limited, so register at the Ridge visitor center information desk one hour before the scheduled walk. Walks are also offered to community groups with advance reservations. Before you hit the trail, remember that there’s a reason it’s called “Hurricane” Ridge. Winds have been clocked at 75 mph and can frequently reach 40 mph. photo by BRENDA HANRAHAN

Rescues by the U.S. Coast Guard, the 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.

Here, you can fi nd charters for fi shing (halibut, salmon, lingcod and rockfi sh are good catches), diving, whalewatching, 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.

Also watch for whales, such as gray, hump- back, pilot and orca, which pass the coast on their semiannual Paciﬁ c migrations and sometimes enter the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Near Neah Bay, the Makah tribe has opened the Shi Shi Beach Access Trail, a mile trail beginning with a mile of boardwalk and connecting to two miles of logging road that takes visitors down to an Olympic National Park beach. In Neah Bay, be sure and visit the Makah Cultural and Research Center, to the left as you enter town. The prize of the center is the Ozette collection, the largest archaeological collection of any U.S. tribe. SEE NEXT PAGE >>>>

102 | FALL/WINTER 2007-08 | NORTH/WEST COAST | NORTH OLYMPIC PENINSULA NEWCOMERS’ AND VISITORS’ GUIDE victoria | Taking the ferry from Port Angeles to Vic- toria, across the Strait of Juan de Fuca, may not rank as an overseas journey, but travelers defi nitely are in another country when they set foot in Canada. You can make the approximately 20- mile trip to Victoria for a one-day trek, a weekend fl ing or a long-term visit, using the tquaint city with the English atmosphere as a starting point for an extended tour of Van- couver Island. The ferry MV Coho leaves from downtown Port Angeles twice daily at 8:20 a.m. and 1:45 p.m., with return trips at 10:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Be advised that the ferry always takes two weeks off for maintenance in the midwinter. For a ferry schedule, call the Coho at 360- 457-4491 or go online at www.cohoferry.com. After a scenic 1½-hour cruise across the Strait and through Victoria Harbour, the ferry lands in downtown Victoria — a city with an metropolitan population more than 325,000. Victoria is an excellent city for sightseeing by foot, but fi rst-time visitors might enjoy themselves more by making the walk from the ferry terminal to the Greater Vic- toria Visitor Information Center, across from the imposing Fairmont Empress Hotel. The center has maps, brochures, information on accommodations and lots of friendly advice. Victoria You won’t want to miss the Royal British Culture, history comes alive in charming, Columbia Museum, located within walking distance of the ferry landing. scenic ‘London-esque’ attraction The museum has special exhibits, but its mainstay is a Northwest Indian area that is unparalleled. C Visitors who want to buy will fi nd 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 specialties can be found on side streets going off Douglas Street between Courtney and Pem- broke streets. Food fanciers should note that some of the fi nest bakeries in the world are to be found on Fort Street between Douglas and Blanshard streets. Elsewhere, gourmet restaurants are dotted throughout the downtown area, featuring everything from escargot to fi sh and chips. Old-fashioned London double-decker buses leave on tours from the front of the Empress Hotel for attractions such as the world-famous Butchart Gardens. Or, if you’re looking for a more romantic kind of transport, there are horse-drawn car- riages available. Victoria offers several fi rst-run movie the- aters, a number of drama companies, a symphony orchestra, an opera company, dance companies, night spots featuring “name” entertainers and concert tour appearances by major rock bands and jazz performers at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Center, a modern arena.

visit to Victoria’s Parliament Build- ings can be a rewarding experience A for the average American. It is a chance to peer into a govern- mental system that is vastly different from those that are familiar to most American citizens. But the mysterious ways of provincial government are easily demystifi ed by a tour of legislative hub and a glimpse into the workings of lawmakers. Even when the British Columbia Legisla- ture is not in session, the grandiose buildings themselves are a lesson in history and grand architecture. Located on Victoria’s Inner Harbour, the seat of British Columbia’s provincial government is among the fi rst things a visitor sees when arriving at Victoria by ferry.

hat started as a sweet pea and a single rose has blossomed into WButchart Gardens, a 55-acre cascade of color that overwhelms the senses a few miles north of Victoria. More than 1,000 varieties of fl owers can be smelled, touched and ogled during a walk through the world-class gardens, which can take several hours. The former cement factory and quarry site at Tod Inlet can be reached by taking the ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria, then traveling 12 miles north by bus or car. Transit and tour buses are found just north of the Victoria ferry landing. The gardens attract more than bees and other fl ower fanciers. Butchart is really a series of gardens, each with a distinct fl air. Jennie Butchart, the cement factory owner’s wife, and herself an artist and certifi ed chemist, began planting her gardens in 1904 when the quarry was still in operation.
