Sequalitchew Creek
This 3 mile rainforest-like there-and-back hike is hidden in the suburban town of Dupont. It is about 20 minutes north of Olympia, and an hour south of Seattle. Follow the path from the free parking lot at the police station down a mild-to-moderately steep trail to a magical rainforest-paradise.
Once you get to the bottom you will follow along the Sequalitchew Creek to a short tunnel leading to a gorgeous view of the Puget Sound on a rocky beach.
