[quote=Anonymous]We basically did this same trip as a two week trip (except for Cannon Beach - we did Oregon coast on an earlier trip). This seems like a lot for 9 days. I would spend more time in Olympic. It is huge and it takes a long time to drive from place to place. Also, if you can, I would stay in the park and not it Forks, it is kind of a rundown town. If you are already exploring the beaches in Olympic, I would skip Cannon Beach. I would also skip Mt Hood. It is not that great in the summer (maybe there are some nice hikes if you are super ambitious but it is definitely not worth stopping by to see it- Hood River on the Columbia River Gorge is much more spectacular.

Also, in Seattle, rent kayaks at that wooden boat place (google it) and check out the pinball museum. If your kids are interested in science the Boeing museum near their headquarters is amazing.

In terms of getting to Olympic, you have to factor in whether you are going to take a ferry - that can make it take longer.  We avoided the ferries and drove through Aberdeen (home of Kurt Cobain - I have a new appreciation of why his music was so depressing) but if you are heading from Seattle to Hurricane ridge you may end up taking a ferry.[/quote]
