Speaking of food, have you tried Geoducks lately? (in Washington state, we pronounce these monster clams “gooey-ducks”). You’ll find ‘em aplenty on the Hood Canal, at Dosewallips State Park (that’s “doe-see-wallups” for you non-natives).

What, exactly, is the Hood Canal? Is it a stinky, waste-infested swamp? No, not at all! In fact, the Hood Canal is a beautiful fjord. Read all about it.
