We are going to be flying into Seattle 6/9/07 and rent a car, our plans are to see the water front and spend a day there, then acrosss to Port Angeles and get a room and spend a day at Hurricane Ridge, then LaPush working around and back to Everett by Sat for a family reunion, then going up north maybe Friday Harbor, I was wondering if anyone knew of some good places to stay, last time we went to LaPush we almost had to sleep in the car, finally found a room. The last time at Friday harbor we took a whale watching tour and it was like a cattle boat way to many people and too few photo ops, so was looking for a more personal whale watching boat, maybe one that caters to photographers. anyways Just wondering if anyone might know of someplace, thanks Gary

Here is a guy just outside of Friday Harbor to take you out on his 26 ft boat: http://www.snugresort.com/whalewatch.html I have not used him but I think you can hire him just for your own use. The problem with staying in Lapush is there is not much out there. Forks is a small town about 10 miles inland, more choices there. Any where you go in Washington state after the end of May make sure to reserve ahead. I live in Seattle and shoot wildlife so I'd be happy to help with any you need. jim

Sorry for cutting that message off. As far as wildlife most of it within driving range of Seattle to the west is small creatures and birdlife. However there are lots of them I know nothing about them. I shoot mostly landscapes and large wildlife and take long trips to get there. East of Seattle about a hundred miles are mountian lions and the occational cougar and black bear. The chance of seeing any of them would be very rare. If you go to Friday harbor be on the watch for whales while on the ferry. On the north side of the island is Roche Harbor often one can see whales from the shore there.
