More Tinkering

We are still making some minor adjustments and changes to our plans.  When I made most of the hotel bookings, some locations were showing little or no availability for hotel accommodation, particularly the smaller towns in the North West area.  Just on the off chance, I looked again recently, and found that there is now some availability in locations that were previously full.  I've mentioned before that I've made most of the bookings through Booking.com, which is great because you can cancel or amend right up to the day before arrival.  Presumably they must only have a certain number of rooms or hotels at any one time and maybe extra come up at different times.

Anyway, we had originally planned to stay overnight in Port Angeles, on the north coast of Washington state, but we couldn't get any accommodation there.  I looked at Port Townsend, a bit further along the coast and opposite the bay from Seattle, but that was full too (apart from really expensive places).  Fortunately, I've now managed to find what looks like a nice budget hotel right on the harbour in Port Townsend, close to the downtown area (Harborside Inn).  The location looks fantastic, the hotel looks OK (what you would expect for the price really) and all the rooms overlook the harbour/bay.  Port Townsend seems like a really nice place to visit, very quaint and colonial!
