[quote=Anonymous]A couple of thoughts --

I would lean two days in Seattle/one day in Portland instead of the opposite.  And since you seem outdoors-focused, I would use that day to do a hike somewhere off the Mountain Loop Highway or Mt Rainier NP, assuming you are up for driving there-and-back.  If instead you are looking for city activities, I think Seattle has more to offer.

And I would think in terms of activities rather than specific geographies.  That is, Hoh Rain Forest/Hurricane Ridge as one set of activities (although they are quite different) and PNW beaches as the other major activity.  While WA State beaches are different in terms of development and infrastructure, they can both be cold/wet or sunny/beautiful and are not fundamentally that different.  Oregon has more beach towns than Washington, but presumably you are there for the beach.  Anyway, right now you have maybe 4 out of your 9 days at the beach.  That would be too much for my family, who would prefer more days hiking (we are more mountain people) or perhaps in a city.

Finally, you can totally make the time change work for you and spend your first day doing things in Seattle -- just remember that you will lose steam earlier in the evening and may need an early night.  Which might constrain your plans somewhat, too.[/quote]
