Deception Pass and Hurricane Ridge

We ended up at Everett WA on Sunday. We had dinner with Richard and Barbara Ek. The fam visited there 25 years ago on that Yellowstone / Canada trip.

To get there we took the ferry from Port Townsend to Whidby Island. To get off the Island we crossed Deception Pass and a plethora of bridges.
Somehow I resisted the urge to take pictures of the barges being towed through the Strait of Juan de Fuca.


We had a little time in touristy Fort Townsend before we departed. Great Victorian Era city with an updown, a downtown and an "uptown downtown"


Before we caught our Ferry at 12:15 we drove to Hurricane Ridge in Olympic Nat. Park. Snowfields, Glaciers and straightdown drops make it beautiful.

The thing I remember most about going to the Ek's house was watching Mary Lou Retton do that perfect vault and win the gold in the LA olympics. I can't believe that was 25 years ago!
