I understand that it's an important 'jump-off' point to the Olympic National Park as it's a relatively close destination for vacationers from Seattle.. The port must attract lots of business and then there's logging. However, the area really appeared to be growing quickly.
We did loop down through Olympia. We'd always raced through that city on I-5 so this time we drove up by the state capitol buildings. I've got to do some more research on the history of that city.
We got back here early.
