Olympic Peninsula -- Travel Tips Please

Fri Jul 27, 2007 at 10:57:47 PM PDT

I'm planning a trip for my small family to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.  We're going to fly into Seattle and rent a car, then spend several days exploring this amazing rainforest.  We'll end the trip by staying with friends in Seattle for a couple of days and seeing some sights there.  National Geographic offers this fantastic itinerary, with lots of useful info.  But I'd love to hear from people who've been to these places, if possible.  (Have I mentioned lately how much I love the internet?!!)

I've been so impressed by the travel tips you all have offered that I thought I'd try tapping the same well.  Have any of you toured the Olympic Peninsula?  Anyone live nearby?  Do you have recommendations of places to stay and eat, and things to do?  We'll probably rent bikes at some point, but that's about as far as I've gotten.  

I want to make the most of the time we have, and I'd love to hear your experiences and advice.
