Sightseeing

About 35 minute drive and just past the town of Poulsbo is the Port Gamble Historic District. The historic mill town is lined with historic, charming homes and a few shops to wander through. There is an old cemetary overlooking the Hood Canal with tombstones from the mid 1800's. Port Gamble Forest Heritage Park is nearby with excellent walking and biking trails.

The beautiful 150 acre garden on Bainbridge Island is one of my favorite spots to visit. There is a fee for admission, but I think it's worth it. Walk the grounds, feel the peace and tranquility and learn about the couple who donated this space for others to enjoy.
