The scum on the water is a nice touch. They've been discussing what to do with the lake since the 80's
I drove down there once in college looking to do a brewery tour. They were closed for good. Oly was some good, Tuff logging camp liberal beer.

Clint Eastwood had Oly in his movies

I really want to go to Mount Shuksan, never been on that side of Baker.
My granny would make sure she had little Olys in the fridge when we came to visit. Little Olys are pretty cool when you're a little kid.
My granny would have had us in family court these days.
The Olympia brewery is now a dilapidated shit pile crumbling away into a heap.
The Brewery site should be the centerpiece of a rejuvenated Tumwater business district. But alas, it is like you say. Nice gol course though. Saw Jack and Arnie do an exhibition there as a kid
We'd do the tour on the three or four hot days a year to hang out in the cooling building.
My grandma gave us beers and smokes too. Maybe that's what happened
Sat between the 99 and the 5 you always knew when you were home

I recommend Dry Falls at dusk. That whole stretch from Ephrata to Grand Coulee is cool. Why more people (myself included) don't weekend at Banks Lake is beyond me.
Mt. Shuksan / Artist point is great! You can get a south view of Shuksan and eastern view from Baker Lake. When I was in Colorado a little diner had a big mural of Shuksan on the wall. I don't think they realized it was in Washington. I also personally enjoy Whitehorse Mountain outside of Darrington. Virtually rises like 6500 feet from the valley floor.
