Olympic Railway Inn, Sequim (updated prices 2025)
I was exhausted on my first night, so I ordered some teriyaki to go! I had some delicious potstickers and teriyaki chicken at a good price.

A fairly easy hike accessible from the Lake Crescent parking lots. I was able to do this hike and walk around the lake/lodge grounds some before continuing on with my day.
Marymere Falls — Washington Trails Association
I stopped here to buy my recreational pass for Cape Flattery, and decided to visit the museum too. Interesting, immersive exhibit with lots of artifacts and history.
Makah Cultural & Research Center Museum
The views here are incredible!! It was a long drive and you do need a Makah Tribe Recreational Pass to visit, but the views are worth it. If you go, listen to the advice to ignore Google maps and just follow the double yellow line. I was given that w...

I had a delicious golden chai latte and chocolate muffin here. Plus there was a good variety of seating, so I was able to find a cozy chair and journal. They also had a cool wall where you could write a poem, leave a poem.
HURRICANE COFFEE CO.
Great spot to watch the sunset! You can walk along the spit for miles if you want. There's even a lighthouse at the end. But there is also a trail right at the parking lot to a cliff overlooking the bay. That's where I took the sunset picture uploade...
Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge - Dungeness Spit
The first pic is my meal - the Mack Daddy and fries. It hit the spot, and they have some good lunch specials!
Shadowline Burgers & Brews
Another sunset spot! This one is in Port Angeles. I stopped here on my way back to Sequim from Cape Flattery. You drive through a logging area to get here, feels weird and like you took a wrong turn. You didn't! Keep going and you'll be able to park ...
Ediz Hook—Views that stretch from peaks to city to sea
This is right off the highway on the way from Port Angeles to some other key places (like Forks, Hoh rainforest, Rialto Beach, etc). I planned a day trip that included Lake Crescent, Marymere Falls (same parking lots), and then a drive up to Neah Bay...
Visiting Lake Crescent - Olympic National Park (U.S. ...
I wasn't able to make it here on this trip, but a store owner told me it's a great place to visit!
Olympic Game Farm Inc.
This was closed for road repairs on this trip, but I went here last time I was in the area and highly recommend it. Hoh Rainforest is absolutely stunning and one of my favorite places.
Hoh Rain Forest
I didn't make it here this time, but it was on my list! If I hadn't gone to Cape Flattery, I would've stopped here instead. Check out the hot springs too!
Sol Duc Falls — Washington Trails Association
Sequim has several cute shops on a main strip. This one was one of my favorites! A nice assortment of local goods, mainly lavendar themed because Sequim is known for their lavendar farms. The cashier was also super friendly and gave some great tips f...

My trip was surprisingly dry, but the Olympic Peninsula is known for rain. So I packed my Columbia rain jacket and kept it easily accessible for all my adventures. I highly recommend you come prepared too.
