Checking in at Evergreen Coho SKP CoOp

We left our workamping location in Hoodsport, Washington today and made our way about an hour-and-a-half further north to the Evergreen Coho SKP CoOp RV Park in Chimacum, Washington. From what we’ve been told by the locals, this area falls in the rain-shadow of the Olympic Mountains and thus is considered to be the ‘banana belt’ of Washington State – meaning it is sunnier, warmer, and drier than the surrounding areas. This is what we’re looking for right now – a chance to dry out and see sunshine again – so we’re hoping it lives up to the hype. So far, we haven’t seen much difference from Hoodsport. We had gray skies again today, and light rain as we drove and settled in to our new campsite. However, we’ve been told by the locals (again) that this has been a very unusually wet and cold Winter and Spring for the area. Seems like odd weather conditions have been the case for most of the United States right now, so we can’t complain too much. The local weather reports are forecasting drier conditions next week, so we’re hopeful we can stay in the Olympic Peninsula a little longer to finally enjoy all of the sites we’ve been looking forward to seeing – sans raincoats (fingers crossed).
