That's another 2 hours away and in the wrong direction. I'd advise you do all your sight seeing and hiking west of Tri. If you're coming from Seattle you could do some hiking up in the Cascades. Mt. Ranier is the obvious one but Colchuck Lake is a really good one near Leavenworth which is a fun little drinking town. Or you can drive from Seattle south to Oregon. Stop at one of the beach towns on the northern Oregon coast. Then take the Columbia River Gorge up to tri which is an amazing drive. Definitely stop in Hood River on the way. If you're flying back out of Seattle then make a big circle and do both.

We are flying into Seattle but flying out of Spokane. Wednesday-Friday we will be at the Lodge at Columbia Point in Richland. So we have a hotel Saturday night in Seattle since we are flying in on Saturday. 9/11. Sunday I figured taking the kids, wife, and I to do the Pike's Place Market, Space Needle, and anything else in Seattle area. Monday and Tuesday we have no hotel yet and no plans. Those are the days Im debating what to do. I have heard awesome things about Olympic and Port Angeles. I have also been told the Cascades. At some point, my wife and kids want to go Apple Picking.

The Oregon Trail playing kid in me wants to cross the snake river just to say I did. Lol

Well, Olympic park is truly in the wrong direction. My advice was more to get to their accommodations in the Tri-Cities and then do a lot of the things adjacent to that, using it as their home base. The CRG is very close to that also.
