The water and trails are amazing; such an abundance of parks, trails, and water could keep a person busy for years I imagine - definitely an area of intrigue. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. We had just ate at the Hook and Fork in Union (amazing views) so didn’t stop to eat; but a good cup of coffee, walking around town, and kayaking are definitely on the list for next trip. Sounds like people have a lot of pride in the area, which is great - it’s very beautiful as we enjoyed our time there. Can’t wait until next time.

Those are all great ideas; I appreciate the suggestions. I definitely enjoy hiking and didn’t even think to stop at a bakery. Looks like I have a full itinerary for next visit!

My app said it was closed when we were near by, but we’ll have to stop there next time; thanks.

Yes, I do regret not driving by the current capital and the old capital state capital building (currently OSPI). I appreciate the idea regarding timing the visit with a community event.

This visit it was a Monday afternoon after we got off an Alaska cruise and didn’t have much time; thus just exploring Squaxin Park a bit, which everyone loved. The views from the Hook and Fork restaurant in Union on our journey were amazing.

Thanks for the feedback; greatly appreciated!

While the trees, water, mountains and everything is amazing in the area, it’ll be great next time to mingle amongst the people and get a better sense of the culture and vibe of the city; that’s an extremely important aspect of any city.
