Summary:

Once you've ventured as far as Seattle, it's easy to get to British Columbia for a peek at West Coast Canadian life. That's what we'll do in this itinerary. We'll start in Seattle and cut a not-so-usual path to Victoria by way of the gentle bays and inlets of southern Puget Sound, the Victorian seaport town of Port Townsend, and the majestic Olympic Peninsula. There are many ways to get to Victoria and no one way is better than another. For our purposes here, we've chosen a route that mixes things up a bit.
