Forks Washington on the Olympic Peninsula

People often refer to the Olympic Peninsula as an “island.” Well, if you thought it was an island before, it’s really going to seem like one during the scheduled 6-week closure of the Hood Canal Bridge, beginning May 1, 2009.

June 4, 2009, UPDATE–The Bridge is Back!! No, it’s not an Elton John song, the Hood Canal Bridge reopened last night–ahead of schedule. More information at the Washington State Department of Transportation site.
