High on the bluff above the ferry terminal in Port Townsend is the Dimick Lighthouse. Port Townsend where it can be found is on the northernmost tip of the Olympic Peninsula and across the strait of Juan de Fuca from Whidbey Island.

Fort Casey is one of three World War Two forts built to protect the Strait of San Juan de Fuca from a feared Japanese invasion. The other two forts are Fort Ebey and Fort Worden (on the other side of the Strait). The forts are all state parks now.

The Chuckanuts are the mounttains south of Bellinham, Washington. This was taken from Samish Overlook, a launching point for hang-gliders and one of the best views of the Strait and Islands. The overlook can be reached with by hiking or by a very rough gravel road.

We took the ferry from Keystone on Whidbey Island to Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula in order to get to Olympic National Park and Hurricane Ridge. This photo was taken early in the morning from the ferry. The Olympics can be seen in the background.
