Just came back from Olympic. Spent 3 days exploring most of the park, and it was phenomenal. So much diversity in ecosystems it felt like we were in a different park each day

I just got back from Leavenworth and it was awesome. We hiked to Colchuck Lake and it was so beautiful!

San Juan’s.

If you haven’t booked accommodations and will need to (Ex not staying at a friends house or rv ). You should probably look into this before making a selection. Almost no choice of rooms in most of the places you listed for this weekend.

Ferry to San Juan is a pain! Leavenworth is mehh. I would do Olympic Natl Park

We spent 3 days in the Olympics last week and booked a sea kayaking trip with these guys. Highly recommended.

Check the news. As much as Washington state wants visitors, they also closed some of the most visited trails during the memorial day and July 4th holidays to prevent people from crowding the areas.

Two Saturdays ago, I tried to go to Deception Pass but it was overly crowded with people. I just turned around and went home.

I don't know where you're coming from, but anything along the coast that's not a reservation might be good to visit. Check out Pacific, WA.

Leavenworth is kind of tacky tbh. San Juan islands are incredible.

Leavenworth and is our East while San Juan is west... not exactly close to each other. Would do one or the other. Also recommend just doing an Airbnb in a more secluded location

North cascades has beautiful views of Glaciers, mountains and beautiful turquoise glacial lakes - of you don't hike you could do it in a day. Olypmic on the other hand is huge, the drive is over 400 miles because it's like a fishbone loop, you have to go out and back. As said before, the park has multiple ecosystems from beach to mountain and even jungle. My fav NP and want to go back to keep exploring!

I have been working in SEA region last 4 years. I feel burned out. I have 10yoe, I have try to move to other country but I pretty much suck in LeetCode. I want to take some time off to unwind, finish some personal business, and really prepare for interviews. I would like to hear from you. Should I quit to my current manager(5th so far) or wait after mid year performance review, when a new boss will take over my team? I'm thinking on giving them 2 months notice period. By contract is 1.

Thanks
