Description

La península Olímpica és el gran braç de terra a l'oest de l'estat de Washington, que s'estén a la banda oposada del Puget Sound, vist des de Seattle, i conté el Parc Nacional Olímpic . Esta circumdada a l'oest per l'Oceà Pacífic, al nord per l'estret de Juan de Fuca, i a l'est pel Hood Canal. A la península hi ha el cap Alava, el punt més occidental dels Estats Units contigus, i el cap Flattery, el punt més al nord-oest. Amb aproximadament 3.600 milles quadrades, la península Olímpica contenia la major part dels indrets no explorats dels Estats Units contigus. Va restar sense cartografiar en gran part fins que Arthur Dodwell i Theodore Rixon varen aixecar mapes de la majoria de la seva topografia i recursos forestals entre 1898 i 1900.
La península Olímpica conté boscos temperats humits, incloent-hi els Hoh Rain Forest, Queets Rain Forest i Quinault Rain Forest. La vegetació de bosc humit es concentra principalment en la part occidental de la península, mentre les muntanyes de l'interior creen un efecte d'ombra de la pluja en àrees al nord-est, que hi crea un clima molt més sec.
