Went kayaking on the west side of Budd Inlet on the morning June 30th. Headed to breakfast at a place on the Puget Sound called Tugboat Annie's. They had a breakfast/kayak special where you get 2 hours of kayaks + breakfast for a discount. So we had pancakes, an omelet, coffee, enjoyed the view of the marina from our table and then headed out to kayak. The boathouse is right off of the restaurant so it's extremely convenient. View from Tugboat Annie's during breakfast:
It's a DIY boat rental place so you get a key to unlock the shed, pick out an oar and life vest, and put a kayak in the water. We spent about an hour heading up north at a leisurely (for me) pace. Lots of huge jellyfish (some of the bigger ones had bodies alone that looked about 1-1.5 feet in diameter). A number of seals were swimming around us throughout the whole trip. I think we made it up to right around Little Tykle Cove before heading back. It was so warm, not windy, and was much easier paddling out than back (due to tide shift I'm sure).
After kayaking we went up to Overlook Point Park and took in the views of Mount Rainier, Puget Sound, and the city.
