After leaving the ferry in Kingston, the route is across the Hood Canal Bridge heading to the Olympic Peninsula and Port Angeles. However, the Hood Canal Bridge is undergoing major repairs, and the traffic is stopped every so often, for up to 20 minutes or so. This was the case on the way to Port Angeles for me.
This caterpillar infestation was snapped at the traffic island where traffic for the bridge coming from Port Gamble merges with traffic coming from Bremerton.
Olympic Mountains form a pleasant (and snowy for June!) backdrop to Port Angeles and the line of cars waiting to board the ferry.
Looking over Port Angeles Harbour, across Ediz Spit to a fog bank in the middle of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, with the mountains of Vancouver Island poking above the fog.
Port Angeles dock as the ferry is leaving.
Another view of Port Angeles, showing an interesting collection of trees standing on top of the mountain in the middle. They might be man-made towers, though don't really look like (given that none of them are vertical!).
Looking back along Port Angeles Harbour, west along the Olympic Peninsula.
Rounding Ediz Point, which is also a Coast Guard station, and thus sailing into the open waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
