Washington State Islands 4 Day 180 Mile Road Trip

[@lloydbaker6988]

HEY,HEY, 4 Day Road Trip. Too Cool For School .Thanks, RVerTV Russ 👍

[@rvertv]

Any time!

[@JeanetteWolfenbarger]

When you pulled into the campsite for Seku, WA. If you look at the dark grey house, my family and me stayed there for 2 nights. It is so beautiful up there. I kept waiting for you to pull into Seku so I could see if I could see where we stayed. It is a house with multiple rooms. Ours was upstairs overlooking the harbor. The Land across the water is Vancouver Island, Canada. When they come in you can see big ships going to places like Seattle, etc. I've also made the trip across Highway20, but not all at once. It is also a beautiful drive in the summertime and by train in the Winter. See you in more of your trips. I can see the USA through your eyes and camera. Thank you.

[@wendyhandley9463]

I love your channel,i luv the places you choose to travel, truly beautiful places, you do such a great job. Rather than me selling up, chucking my job and going on the road, which i feel like doing but realistically cant, illi watch your videos and you take me to where i want to go, a wee escape .. Thanks for what you do, you are providing a wonderful service. X

[@rvertv]

Thank you so much!

[@michaeljeff9282]

Nothing more captivating than this part of the Northwest, I think this one might be one of your best. Great vibe and informative!

[@2024home]

I was in 8th 9th and 2\3 10th Grade Anacortes High School Russ - I am liking your video...but haven't seen it yet before this entry. I'll watch now. Tomorrow I 65 yrs. Bye for Now Trooper

[@SpaceCadete101]

thanks man, I love your vids, so relaxing and help me feel positive about my impending old age

[@jimp.7286]

The ferry boats in the pacific northwest are huge fun for folks not from the area. Gives you a break from driving and gets you out on the water. I always get something hot to drink at the snack bar if they have one. About Anacortes. I was going to make a special trip up there in the 90's just to see the tommy thompson steam train. Sadly, about the time I was going to go - he passed away. Fast foward a couple decades I finally visited the island but the choo-choo was still being brought back by volunteers little by little. I did see the tiny tracks though. Sure is pretty up there.

[@lorilake7613]

Russ, I'm watching your Anacortes video right now. I live near Port Angeles, WA. We do get snow here at sea level some winters. About four winters ago, we got three feet of snow in Sequim overnight and it stuck around for several weeks. Needless to say, it wreaked havoc for the unprepared. We never get much news coverage here about weather events. They get five inches of snow in Seattle and it's all the local news stations talk about. LOL!

[@JeanetteWolfenbarger]

I watch Russ and his Videos all the time. I live on Hood Canal at Hoodsport, WA. Last year we got about 2 feet of snow. We live just under Mt Ellinor so we're always getting snow, how much we never know.

[@teresaarvidson44]

Welcome to my area Russ! I love Oak Harbour, you must try Whidbey Coffee, its the best little coffee shop off hwy20 when you're passing thru'. I stop there every time I go there on the way to Coupeville.

[@curbozerboomer1773]

Washington State native here...77yo, and never been to the Eastern half of the state! So I loved Part One. My state might as well be two states--Western Washington has nearly 7 million folks, Eastern Washington has maybe 1 million...I think that was obvious, when comparing these two videos. Western WA is very Liberal, Eastern WA is conservative. Western WA gets 30-40 inches of rain, Eastern WA gets about half of that. The variety of the land in my state is mind-blowing, and one could spend an entire summer investigating this part of our great country...thank you for your efforts! I feel blessed to have been born in this jewel of a state.

[@TinaBlevins-Jackson]

You are doing what my husband and I dream of doing. We are both disabled so doing RV trips would be very difficult. We enjoy your videos. But it makes me sad to see how much of our country is not accessible. Keep up the good work.

[@lindachaffee1803]

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving

[@rvertv]

Hi Linda. Hope all is well with you too

[@bjlmccall292]

👋 Beautiful…. Be safe! 😊

[@rvertv]

Thank you, I will

[@elainehoward9449]

Russ, I love love love your videos. We can't travel anymore so this is my way of traveling! I especially like your way of videoing...slowly, instead of whipping through where everything is a blur! I hope you never stop doing this!

[@alanlough638]

Kudos to your KZbin Channel, Russ! 👍👍👍👍Thanks for bringing us with you on your rv travels. I wish you safe travels. Talk soon, Alan.

[@roxannepearson8313]

Hey there! Aww You were up here in my neck o the woods ...just wanted to comment about snow....We get it ...foot or two sometimes n ice too at times....the mountains are close to the bay here...hope You made it to Edison too!! Safe Travels I really enjoy your channel! Thank You.Much Roxy. WA state😊

[@lindahoudek9855]

Washington is beautiful. Thanks Russ! Life of a bird.

[@missgoodie222ify]

Ready to ride Russ safe travels and thanks for sharing this video.🤗

[@rvertv]

You bet

[@BrandonPrive1432]

Should have come over to Vancouver island while you were out this way! Next time!

[@michaelmoore7545]

I so enjoy your road trips! Keep it up!!!

[@RV_Chef_Life]

Western WA is gorgeous the 3 months of the year it isn’t raining 😂 Thanks for not calling it Worshington

[@sandywall3632]

Whidbey is in the rain shadow of the mountains on the peninsula so it gets about half as much rain as Seattle

[@curbozerboomer1773]

Over 50 years ago, us folks in Washington had a Governor-Albert D. Rosellini-who would pronounce Washington as "Worshton"!! He was a good man, but he drove me crazy with that!...and yeah, lots of people living in Washington DO say "Worshington"!...Boneheads!

[@dangergirlbrooks3575]

That first body of water you saw in Deception Pass is a fresh water lake.

[@BigDukeX]

Hey there Russ, Sequim is pronounced “S’Kwim”. Many towns in the Pacific Northwest are a real challenge to pronounce. The locals will always help you get it right.

[@vernwallen4246]

I've made several trips too the Port Angeles area and the scenery was always AWESOME.Thanks Russ,stay safe.

[@Smileveryday2.0]

If you ever come back to Washington state ya outta check out Snoqualmie Falls and Mount Index in the Cascade Mountain Range. Both are amazing places to visit not to mention beautiful!

[@kathyweber793]

My backyard. Born and raised in Seattle. Thanks for this video! You rock!!

[@Ezzz-of3gr]

Russ, your doing good just the way you are 😅😅😅

[@scottyj946]

I was stationed at Whidbey back in the mid eighties…you made some great stops….If you didn’t know, Fort Warden and Port Townsend are the settings where many of the scenes from the movie “Officer and a Gentleman were filmed. Beautiful area!

[@curbozerboomer1773]

My late wife was from Port Townsend...and yes, she was a beautiful, small-town girl. She grew up very close to where that movie was filmed!

[@henrywardell4635]

HAPPY TRAILS - U.S.A. - RUSS - RVerTV FANS. WILL RUSS VISIT ALASKA IN 2024. WE LOVE RVerTV - BEST TV ON KZbin. Thank you Russ.🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠

[@percymcnabb4746]

a wonderful trip threw a beautiful state loved everything,. the lookout was amazing.

[@justinebuckleywright1302]

Thank you so much for your beautiful videos.!!❤

[@stephanieestep7529]

A lot of students depend on those city busses to get from the rural areas to the community college in Port Angeles. It’s a wonderful service ❤

[@EJS1970]

We’ve been over Snoqualmie pass a zillion times. It is gorgeous

[@vickyrumsey692]

I just wanted to let you know How much I love your videos. This one was great! I wish I could Travel all over the country!!! Take care and stay well.

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

Thank you for this trip across Washington! Truly an epic journey! Love the Penninsula! Highway 101 was great! Be safe on your travels!😀🚙🛟🇺🇸

[@Smileveryday2.0]

Russell I was born n raised in Washington state and yes even though there’s an ocean everywhere still get snow!! Even by the ocean!!

[@curbozerboomer1773]

As a fellow "Native", you gotta admit, that snow is very hit-and-miss in Western Washington...some years hardly any at all, but once every 5 years or so, we will get hit by a foot or more, which sends everyone into a panic! Eastern Washington is always cooler than the Western side, and snow is a given during the winter, along with temps down to zero degrees, and even lower!

[@maehay4065]

Nice setup in your van!

[@jimmiksche1527]

Nice comment re: Hwy 20. You should experience Hwy 82 in Mississipi. Another wonderful road!

[@chall7688]

I can't believe it's been 4 years since you were here before. That was a good video too where you talked about your Dad.

[@ceetee2021]

Great video Russ. That snow capped mountain is Mount Baker. As a whole all that water is called Puget Sound. Head towards Neah Bay and La Push to see whales from the beach...very cool!

[@joannford5860]

Awesome ride to see as you crossed the bridge the water is called Puget Souns inlet bay. When you turned into the State Park coming down the hill to your left is Pass Lake Spring feed and Public Swimming lake. Going in on 20 as you went into town is called Midway and you missed old Town Oak Harbor which is called Pioneer Way. Going father on Highway south at Libey Rd would would have gone to Fort Ebby State Park. I'm telling because I live 2.8 miles from Deception Pass Bridge. I have lived here 40 years.

[@kerryseabrook2438]

that was wonder ful

[@sscott6021]

I enjoyed this immensely. Thanks for taking me along. I long to visit the west coast someday.

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

What a trip on Hwy 20 all across Washington! Some highlights were Cascades, Ferry ride. Seaque and seagulls at the tip top of Penninsula! Beautiful! Thank you so much Russ! Keep on trucking!❤️😀🚙🤚🏿

[@carolec2400]

Loved your video ! It was fun seeing areas close by that I don't normally get to. Live in Port Angeles so kinda sad you blew through. Noticed you changed lanes so figure you probably didn't see the whole downtown area, the pier looking over the straights where you probably would have seen huge freighters, or the Coho ferry that goes to Victoria Canada. You can drive through the downtown area and see old buildings and get to 101 plus a short detour pass the turn off where you can pass out small marina, go through a working McKinley Mill to a local spot we call The Spit or what is known as Ediz Hook. A skinny peninsula where you can see the town and mountains or look over the straights to Canada. There is also the Coast Guard station at the end of Ediz Hook. A few months back I got to see Killer Whales in the inlet between the Spit and Port Angeles. So cool. Hopefully next time you can enjoy some sights. Plus you can drive to the top on the mountains and see Hurricane Ridge. Yes, lots of stop lights. Lol

[@timmillan6701]

It’s a little bit hazy in Skagit County today, but NOTHING like it was in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana when I was there last week. The bay you were looking across is Padilla Bay, and yes, they do get minimal snow some winters, whereas I have experienced up to 11 inches only three miles inland from the bay

[@wrsparks]

Russ I have lived in Washington State all my life I have traveled the roads you traveled in this video. But you showed me places and things I missed along the way.Thank you.

[@karenwoodward7291]

Thanks!

[@tonybennett7920]

Neah Bay is awesome. The board walk to get to the ocean is really cool

[@jennie11lee]

Glad I found this second stretch of your hwy 20 trip. I live in Oak Harbor and so much to see around here and impossible to do it all. You were really lucky to be able to get right on that ferry! Thanks for your light hearted comments and compliments. F18s P3s P8s fly right over my house. Very loud but GO NAVY!

[@teresaarvidson44]

Wow i cant believe you got right on the Coupeville, and in August! I have had to wait up to 2hours before, the summer ferrys are so busy now, you have yo reserve days ahead!

[@Codecutter]

Sequim is pronounced : Skwim rhymes with Swim, but add a k between the s and w.

[@paulweston2267]

Many years ago, I picked up a load of shake shingles in Forks. I have done all the 4 corners of the US. Forks, San Ysidro, Key west and Houlton.

[@Hieronymus628]

Great videos Russ I really enjoy them.

[@JanelleVocate-Ames]

YAY!!!!

[@sophiesniche]

I was so excited to see your travel would take you to Deception Pass. My disappointment was you never took any photos of it. Just the campground. It's quite something to see, sorry you didn't stop.

[@rodneymandery6087]

Port Townsend. You are now on the mainland, tye ferry delivered you from Whidbey Island.

[@timmillan6701]

They are getting ready to tear that Marine Supply store down ,unfortunately. Anacortes is a lot of fun, I live about 20 minutes away and go there often. The Deception Pass bridge is always congested, it is the only access from the north to Whidbey Island

[@Go4Corvette]

Very nice road trip, Russ. Nice to look at, but I won't go in that water unless am on a cruise ship 🤣 Take care.

[@2024home]

@RVerTV Hi Russ - Is it okay if I suggest to McDonalds to approach you with a Hamburger testing offer? {Helpful Dave}🙂😇🙂

[@tonybennett7920]

The little area is actually Bow Edison where Bay View Park is at

[@sueannhawkes]

When were you in the PNW? I can't remember that far back. We were just in the U.P. of Michigan with you on you summer adventure.

[@swampratman2000]

i was out to whidbey island in june my daughter lives in oak harbor. rt 20 goes from washington to maine i live in NY and it goes about 20 miles south of me

[@tonybennett7920]

I am from that area. We do get snow. There are winters where we get a lot of snow.

[@sandrafloyd2152]

A few years after my cousin Earnie died of a brain tumor his wife Sandie married Van Riper (It's pronounced Ripe-Per). She helped him with the Motel & they also ran the Van Riper marina area too. She always told me she did all the work. They sold the marina part & after Van Riper died she ended up selling the Motel & moved back to Port Angeles. There used to be a restaurant called Van Riper's on the left side between Callam Bay & Sekiu and he sold that too earlier. He had a hobby of flying those Ultralights aircrafts..and probably why he didn't help her out much with the business. I remember as a kid there was hardly any RV parking between Port Angeles & Neah Bay especially Sekiu. My uncle George used to teach Music K-12 at Neah Bay for the goverment. In the summer My aunt Jean & George used to run a charter boat called the "Indian Summer" in NB. Jean was better at it than George. She was gregarious & entertained the folks too. They always came back to hear more dirty jokes. One time George ran the 36' boat aground getting too close to Waadah Island. He never lived that down. He's better at playing a Trumpet in a Jazz band than steering a boat in the fog. I so enjoyed going to NB for 2 weeks every summer. Not much has changed there in terms of housing, restaurants & grocery markets (only one). But the whole Marina side has been updated.
