We're considering taking a family trip out there and I'd like to hear about the best times to visit and what to see. We love nature most of all, but especially marine life. We've never been to a rocky cold beach and that's the experience we are after! We want to see tide pools! We love the mountains as well, so I'm thinking we'll barely get a taste of the place.

Any advice welcome!

it's a really big state.......

Do you have some idea of when? And for how long?

For tidal pools and stuff pretty much any time, but you could look up tide charts and try to aim for some very low tide periods.

Do you want snow in your mountains? hiking?

the peninsula will give you some of everything; beaches, spits, rain forest, tribal museums, Forks (do you own a teenage girl?), mountains.

Mt St Helens is pretty cool -- that whole volcano thing.

Rainer is still open, but probably not for long.

I agree! Olympic Peninsula is AMAZING!!!

I know I'm going to fall in love and come back because I'll never be able to see near enough.

We could come over in the spring over the kid's break. We would have only six days then. We could wait until summer and stretch it to ten days.

We're coming from the Smoky Mountain region, so I'm not sure I would pick mountains first. But, a volcano! Wow! Most of my life I've dreamt of being bundled up on a foggy beach staring into a tide pool with the mountains behind me. We aren't the kind who run and run on vacation. We like to relax and take our time.

The rain forest is very interesting as well.

Maybe we can fly into (filll in the blank), drive through Mt (blank) and arrive at (blank) beach. :D

It will be the biggest trip we've ever taken and I know we'll have a great time there.

hhmmm six to ten days....

Fly into Seattle

Drive through Tacoma to Open Original Shared Link

Take 101 north, stop and play anywhere that looks Open Original Shared Link. Lots of barely discernible beaches along the coast. They just have a number - you park the car and hike down to the beach.

Fun to go to Neah bay and hike to Open Original Shared Link

Drive all the way around the Open Original Shared Link and check out Open Original Shared Link ,or Open Original Shared Link. Maybe go into Open Original Shared Link, or Open Original Shared Link

Return to civilization either through Open Original Shared Link, or by going back through Tacoma.

      @Celiacpartner, I agree with Scott. We have a food festival yearly in the town I live in, with artisan food stalls everywhere. I spoke to the owner of one of the artisan burger stalls, enquiring if the burgers were gluten-free when I said I was Coeliac ... he said he had a serious anaphylactic allergy to fish himself. He possibly carries an epi-pen or two everywhere he goes. I would go see an allergist as soon as possible as suggested.
    • Scott Adams
      After years of stable management, developing new symptoms to historically safe foods like nuts and fish strongly suggests a secondary issue has developed. It is highly unlikely to be a new gluten issue if the foods themselves are certified gluten-free. The most probable explanations are a new, separate food intolerance (perhaps to a specific protein in certain nuts or fish) or a true IgE-mediated food allergy, which can develop at any age. The symptoms you describe—cramps and the urge to vomit—can be consistent with either. It is crucial he sees an allergist for proper testing (like a skin prick or blood test) to identify the specific culprit and rule out a serious allergy, as reactions can sometimes worsen with repeated exposure.

      Nuts are a common source of food allergy reaction/intolerance/sensitivity. But fish usually not. Of course, intolerances can develop to any food, whether or not they are common ones. I'm at a loss here.

      Your doctor's recommendation to wait three months is very sound and aligns with general advice for celiac disease. While the acute GI symptoms resolve quickly, the autoimmune response and intestinal inflammation can linger, impairing nutrient absorption crucial for early fetal development. This three-month window allows your body to calm the immune response and for your gut to fully heal, ensuring you are in the best possible nutritional health for conception and pregnancy. In the meantime, focus on hydrating, eating nourishing, easily digestible foods, and resting—your body needs time to recover. It's a frustrating delay, but it's the best step for a healthy pregnancy.

      He’s noticed it after having a few different kinds of nuts and nuts on top of a gluten free nut bar. and it’s happened after having some fresh caught fish, and tonight from packaged plain salmon from the supermarket. He has stomach cramps and feels the need to vomit to try and relieve the symptoms.
