From Seattle to the peninsula takes about 2 1/2 to three hours, and it takes about three hours to get from Lake Crescent to Cape Flattery. so you'll want to stay somewhere in-between unless you want a VERY long day! : ) There are a lot of places to stay around Lake Crescent; at this point it's very likely you won't get lodging at the Lodge itself -- it tends to fill up far in advance. But do a search; we are going back eventually and there are many private places to rent. The name of the marina is Neah Bay -- it's simply the main marina of the little fishing town. If you go in the afternoon, you'll see the fishermen in for the day from the day's catch. Check the links I provided -- we found that people were extremely friendly and nice. Hope it's as wonderful as our trip! Hi, Diana!

What is the name of the marina with the sea lions? I'm going to plot everything on a map so we won't miss a thing. Did you stay at Crescent Lake? Or did you start from Seattle? Thanks for the tip!

That's a huge compliment coming from you. Photographing duties were divided up between me, my husband, and my father-in-law -- he took those last three. Love that flayed fish! Thanks, Chad!

I am a native Cincinnatian myself, so I am still in awe that I can actually drive to all this stuff as a day trip. Put it on your to-do list if you’re ever out here, J!
