What is the best route from Seattle to Olympic National Park?

I want to visit Olympic National Park for a couple of days, but I’m not sure it’s close enough to explore in a weekend. Which is the best and shortest route for me to take from Seattle to Olympic National Park?

Answer: Olympic National Park is a beautiful forest that really feels like another world. But even though it feels serene and isolated, the drive from
Seattle
to Olympic National Park only takes about 2 hours. That said, here is the best route from Seattle to Olympic National Park:
  1. Take I-5 South out of Seattle
  2. Continue for 67 miles
  3. Merge onto 101 North 4 Continue for 29 miles
  4. Turn onto WA-119
  5. Continue until you reach Olympic National Park
While you can also take a scenic route through some of the lakes in the area (like the Carr inlet), you’ll probably want to make the trip as short as possible so you can spend your time exploring the park!
Remember, the roads along the way can be twisted and slippery. Before you start your trip, make sure you have a good
roadside assistance
policy. That way, you’ll have someone to call for towing or jumpstarts if you find yourself stuck on the road.
