If I were you I'd try to find the setting for Betty MacDonald's "The Egg and I" -- it's somewhere on the Olympic Peninsula, but I don't know where. Or I'd try to find her house on Vashon Island.
One of my friends lives on Orcas Island -- have you ever explored any of the the San Juan Islands? They sound pretty cool.
Actually, I'm so lame I'd probably do a bookstore crawl -- LA is such a lousy bookstore town I'm immediately entranced by any city with several large, prosperous independent booksellers. I'd also go to the first McCormick and Schmick's, the first Starbucks, the first Torrefazione, the first Seattle's Best, etc., but then again, I live with a coffee addict. Isn't there some hotshot, very old fish restaurant that looks out over the Sound? And isn't there some really odd vegetarian restaurant there that is world renowned (I keep thinking it's called The Flying Saucer or Outer Space or something like that)?
There's always the Sound Garden. Oh, and the Museum of Rock and Roll.

At any rate, have fun!
