Great Escape: Watch Storms from the Coast

Take advantage of the stormy weather and watch from the coast.

As wind and rain beat down on Washington with the arrival of fall, escape to the serene and tranquil forested coast that offers an outdoor playground that is accustomed to the change in weather. From clamming to storm watching, to biking and hiking, there is plenty to do and discover.

Olympic National Park and Forest, located on Washington’s Pacific Coast along Hwy 101, is home to more than just the setting to the Twilight movies. Kalaloch Lodge offers cabin rentals or lodge accommodations that give ocean views and the opportunity to spy bald eagles, sea otters and puffins.

Check out sample itineraries that offer ideas on everything to see and do in the area as well as lodging specials offering 25 percent off discounts and packages starting at $239 a night, double occupancy.
