Recommendation

For the best experience, I recommend flying from Everett to Seattle, and then taking connecting flights directly to Port Angeles. While road trips are enjoyable, the amount of time required and the accommodation costs can add up. If you opt for a road trip, make sure to plan your stops for sightseeing to enhance your travel experience. Using public transport like trains can be leisurely but may take significantly longer than flying. Below are summarized options:
- **Best Option:** Fly directly for a quicker trip with minimal stops.
- **Alternate Option:** Road trip for an adventure but with extended time and costs.
