Washington Coast: Forks and Beyond

I honestly believe the PNW is the most beautiful place in the world. Seattle is surrounded by mountains, rainforests, the peninsula, the ocean and so much more. One long weekend in March, 3 friends and I decided to go explore. We booked 2 nights in a hotel in Forks (yes, Twilight's Forks) and headed out. 

From Seattle we drove to Edmonds and took the ferry across to Kingston, and drove to Forks.

To be perfectly honest, there is really nothing in Forks apart from a grocery store, a mexican restaurant, a drive up coffee stand, and 5 Twilight gift shops.


 Later on in the day we drove to Third Beach, through Olympic National Park. Washington beaches aren't your typical beaches; although cold and really windy they're so beautiful and fun to walk around.




After the beach, we drove through Olympic National Park to Hoh Vistor Center. Hoh is absolutely crazy, there is green hanging everywhere. There are lots of quick hikes around, so its easy to do a quick look around. Side note: there was stream with the clearest bluest water I had ever seen. 


I love this part of the world so much, and am so excited to go explore more!
