US 101 along Hood Canal, Washington State

US 101
Along Washington's Hood Canal

You don't have to travel far from Sea-Tac Airport to begin experiencing the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. A short drive down Interstate 5 takes you to the starting point of one of America's great roads - US 101.

Hood Canal, Washington State, US 101

US 101 quickly changes from freeway, to 4-lane highway, to 2-lane byway. For much of its journey north, it travels along the Hood Canal, which connects with Puget Sound. Watch for roadside pull-outs that allow direct access to the water.

This location is one of the first pull-outs you'll pass, once you reach Hood Canal. If you're lucky, the sky will be as blue as the water. Of course, this is the Pacific Northwest....

Tip:

State Parks are abundant throughout Washington, and you'll pass more than a half dozen as you head up US 101 along the Hood Canal. Unfortunately, they aren't free. You'll have to shell out $5 for parking every time you stop, or risk being ticketed.
