Sequim, Washington -
From Wikipedia(
Sequim lies within the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains and receives on average less than 16 inches (410 mm) of rain per year — about the same as Los Angeles, California — leading it to give itself the nickname of Sunny Sequim. However, the city is relatively close to some of the wettest temperate rainforests of the contiguous United States. This climate anomaly is sometimes called the blue hole of Sequim.[6] Fogs and cool breezes from the Juan de Fuca Strait make Sequim's climate more humid than would be expected from the low average annual precipitation. Some places have surprisingly luxuriant forests dominated by Douglas-fir and western red cedar. Black cottonwood, red alder, bigleaf maple, Pacific madrone, lodgepole pine, and Garry oak can also be large. Historically, much of the area was an open oak-studded prairie supported by somewhat excessively drained gravelly sandy loam soil, though agriculture and development of the Dungeness valley have changed this ecosystem. Most soils under Sequim have been placed in a series that is named after the city. This Sequim series is one of the few Mollisols in western Washington and its high base saturation, a characteristic of the Mollisol order, is attributed to the minimal leaching of bases caused by low annual rainfall.
The city and the surrounding area are particularly known for the commercial cultivation of lavender, supported by the unique climate. It makes Sequim the Lavender Capital of North America, rivaled only in France. The area is also known for its Dungeness crab. Sequim is pronounced as one syllable, with the e elided: skwim. The name developed from the Klallam language.
Olympic National Park -
From Wikipedia (
Olympic National Park is an American national park located in the State of Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula. The park has four regions: the Pacific coastline, alpine areas, the west side temperate rainforest and the forests of the drier east side. Within the park there are three distinct ecosystems which are subalpine forest and wildflower meadow, temperate forest, and the rugged Pacific coast.
President Theodore Roosevelt originally designated Mount Olympus National Monument on 2 March 1909. The monument was later designated as a national park by Congress and President Franklin Roosevelt on June 29, 1938. In 1976, Olympic National Park was designated by UNESCO as an International Biosphere Reserve, and in 1981 as a World Heritage Site. In 1988, Congress designated 95 percent of the park as the Olympic Wilderness.
Hood Canal -
From Wikipedia (
Hood Canal is a fjord forming the western lobe, and one of the four main basins, of Puget Sound in the state of Washington. It is one of the minor bodies of water that constitute the Salish Sea. Hood Canal is not a canal in the sense of being a man-made waterway—it is a natural waterway.
Along its entire length, Hood Canal separates the Kitsap Peninsula from the Olympic Peninsula of Washington. The U.S. Navy's Naval Base Kitsap, Bangor Annex, is located on the eastern shore of Hood Canal near the town of Silverdale. Hood Canal has several internal bays, the largest of which is Dabob Bay. Most of Dabob Bay is a Naval Restricted Area, and is used by the submarines stationed at the Bangor Base. Quilcene Bay is an inlet extending northwest from Dabob Bay. Near the north end of Hood Canal is Port Gamble, a bay and a town of the same name.
Hood Canal was named by the Royal Navy Captain George Vancouver on May 13, 1792, in honor of Admiral Lord Samuel Hood of that navy. Vancouver used the name Hood's Channel in his journal, but wrote Hood's Canal on his charts. The United States Board on Geographic Names decided on Hood Canal as its official name in 1932.

Day 24 Olympia Washington and Olympic National Park USA Road Trip Part 2
Today we visit Olympia, the capitol or Washington state, and the amazing Olympic National Park. I had always thought Seattle was the capitol because it is the most popular and visited city, but I was wrong.
I knew Olympic was a big national park, but I did not realized truly how big it was until I started to explore it today, This park is massive and has everything from the only rain forest in the USA to mountains, forests, beaches, nearby towns and Indian reservations, waterfalls and so much more to offer.
There are some long and short hikes to do and if you chose to do an overnight hike you have to get a permit. But you must of nothing else go to Mt Walker Viewpoint, Hurricane Ridge, Port Townsend and drive along the Hood Canal. The water here is so perfect and the lakes are great as well for tubing and water skiing. Plus they have several camp sites and lodges, but you want to book ahead of time! Be sure to do all of you planing for your trip to olympic national park, otherwise you will have to wait or miss out on a campground.
Let's start a movement. Traveling before or while in college should be commonplace and expected. The power of travel is life-changing and has the potential to enhance society overall. When you travel you learn AMAZING things about yourself, the people around you, the world around you and the opportunities there are.
Without travel I argue that you will never realize your fullest potential because there is so much that you are missing out. Traveling even the smallest of distances will change the way your mind thinks and lead to what society needs most, people who have found a passion, are pursuig it and discovering breakthrough technologies, theories, lifestyles, careers and more.
In Europe this is already commonplace to take a semester, summer, month or year off to explore the EU before or during college. I want to make it commonplace in the United States of America as well. It is possible to do it on any budget and I help people learn how to make it a reality. Find out more at:

Van Living On The Road Visiting Madison Falls Hurricane Ridge & Hood Canal In Olympic National Park
In 2017 van life has lead me to the Olympic National Park where I take van living on the road to Madison Falls, Hurricane Ridge and Hood Canal as I make my way back into Olympia to do get more short time work that will allow me to afford to living in a van traveling the United States and Canada.
It was too bad that I had to leave the YouTuber group mad up of Nomadic Fanatic, Living Free, Caravan Carolyn and Bex. It will be great when I can get back together with them at the 2017 Riffe Lake Campers Meet.
Home Land Security Checkpoint Protest in Port Angeles, WA Sept 20th, 2008 - King 5 Coverage
Homeland Security Sets up Suspicionless Checkpoints Along Roads in Washington State
Homeland security has setup up 3 internal checkpoints on the Olympic Peninsula. These checkpoints are in addition to checkpoints at Washington Ferry docks and highway border crossings. According to the U.S. Border Patrol, it has a jurisdiction of about 100 miles from the border. This puts most of Washington state in an area where border checkpoints are authorized, including Seattle.
In August and again in the beginning of September, the Department of Homeland Security has set up suspicion-less checkpoints on the Washington peninsula. The checkpoints are in the town of Forks, at the west side of the Hood Canal bridge going east bound, and at the third near Discovery Bay on US 101. Forks is a timber town of 3,200 people that is 56 miles from the nearest ferry terminal connecting Washington to Canada. At the road checkpoints there and elsewhere, the border patrol ask drivers different types of questions to gauge their status in the U.S., including questions about citizenship.
