abstract:The Olympic Peninsula is the large arm of land in western Washington that lies across Puget Sound from Seattle. It is bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, the north by the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the east by Hood Canal.
Fortunately, Roscoe found work a hundred miles west, at Beaver Camp, near the town of Forks on the OlympicPeninsula, about as far west as one could go in the then-forty-eight states.
