Our first campground was Rocky Gorge, on Lake Koocanusa, where we enjoyed the shade and the water.
Our second night out was spent in a WalMart parking lot in Colville, WA where it was about 150 degrees (or seemed like that!) on the pavement.
We did much better on our third night. We found Klipchuck campground, which was another welcome break from the July heat, with trees for shade and a nice creek in which we soaked our feet for quite awhile.
After that we spent about a month traveling along the north and west coasts of Washington, staying where it was cool and we could avoid all the smoke from the forest fires.
In this picture, we are parked along the Strait of Juan De Fuco at Seiku, WA, which is a small town on the western edge of Washington. We were close enough to the water that when the tide was in and the wind picked up, the waves were splashing over the rocks next to us. Seiku is a popular fishing area and some of the fish are even quite friendly.

Tongue Point was a favorite because of its very active tide pools. We visited the Marine Life Center in Port Angeles and had a very knowledgeable docent explain all about tide pools. Then we spent many hours exploring.
We were perched over the ocean in a state park and it was usually very foggy, but once in awhile the fog would clear and we could see Canada across the Strait. Our cell phones were using Canadian towers!
