Victoria Express

Bobbi Fuller, owner of the Elwha Dam RV Park just east of Port Angeles shares this story with travelers visiting the Pacific Northwest: “If you are researching points of interest, breath-taking "must see" places to visit, and fun things to do while visiting the Olympic Peninsula, be sure to put on the top of your ‘To Do’ list a boat ride with "Captain Jack" on the Victoria Express passenger ferry.

Of course that means a quick 55 minute sailing to beautiful Victoria B.C. or a full day cruise to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island in the Salish Sea. “Captain Jack” will enthusiastically name all of the sea birds and other critters encountered on the cruise. In fact, he may even make an opportunity for passengers to enjoy a few moments watching the dolphins, Orcas, harbor seals, or sea otters playing in the kelp; all the while keeping on time with his Victoria BC, Friday Harbor and Port Angeles passenger ferry schedules.

Remember the spelling bees of your youth? You stood in front of the class, all eyes on you, as you negotiated your way through difficult words like "autumn", "doubt" and "gauge". Classmates cheered when you got it right - or worse, cheered when you got it wrong. You've never forgotten, and maybe never quite recovered from the experience.

Belfry Theatre's "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" will help you embrace the memories of your past spelling bees. It will also make you clap your hands and laugh.

The quirky cast of "angst-ridden, overachieving outsiders" shine during the spelling bee. It is perhaps the one place where they can fit in and stand out. They are overseen by adults "who barely escaped childhood themselves", which makes their interactions all the more hilarious.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee runs April 13 through May 16 at the Belfy Theatre in downtown Victoria. Free childcare is sometimes offered during Sunday Matinees (check with the Box Office for details).
