Last week (and earlier...) I backpacked in Washington's Olympic Peninsula, a coastal hike from Ozette to Yellow Banks, and a hike from the East Fork Quinault over Anderson and La Crosse Passes. It had been raining as I drove into Washington, but the rains stopped and I had dry weather the entire time.
Before hiking along the coast I stayed on Lake Crescent. Daytime picture:

There is a headland just before (north of) Yellow Banks which can be rounded, under what "Custom Correct Maps" considers normal conditions, with tides below 5 feet. Otherwise there's a tunnel which I didn't want to bother with for reasons this picture makes clear:
