A Seafood Lover's Vacation is Better When You Stay at a Luxury Vacation Rental
November 15, 2006. The San Francisco Chronicle's article on Dungeness crabs and the namesake bay in Washington State made me hungry and eager to book a Pacific Northwest vacation rental. Think about the possibilities: some of the best seafood, microbreweries and outdoors opportunities in North America. If you head to the Seattle/Puget Sound area, you have to make a trip to the Olympic Peninsula, home of Dungeness Bay.
"While nobody knows where these crabs initially were discovered, these waters were the first place the delectable crustaceans were harvested commercially in the 1900s. As the delicacy was shipped around the world, everyone called them Dungeness crabs. The name stuck."
The Dungeness Bay is located on the northern tip of the Olympic Peninsula, right between the Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca. Make sure you bring a raincoat, because this is a region famous for precipitation. Personally, I think it adds to the charm. You can also stay in the nearby Canadian cities of Victoria or Vancouver. Fortunately, a system of ferries links the major destinations throughout the Puget Sound.
