Tacoma Airport. Located smack dab on the middle of Washingtons coast it's only 2 hours from Seattle. The fastest way from Seattle is south I-5 to Olympia. Take the Hwy 101 exit then the Hwy 8 exit 5 miles later. Hwy 8 turns into HWY 12 at Elma. Follow 12 to Aberdeen and here drive south on 101 over the bridge and just after the bridge take state highway 105 west. Drive all the way until you hit the ocean, then turn right. Now drive up north and pass Westport and once you hit the harbor, turn left and follow the Westhaven State Park road until you see the small bay and the jetty.
